SB 6047: Reimbursing taxing districts

Authorizing a property tax levy to reimburse taxing districts for property taxes refunded under chapter 84.69 RCW and property taxes abated under RCW 84.70.010.

Summary

  • Local taxing districts, but not the state, may impose a property tax levy to recoup taxes abated under the destroyed property statute even when no refund was issued because the abatement occurred before the taxes were paid. The act clarifies that taxing districts may levy for the purpose of funding administrative refunds, except for taxes paid more than once.
