Passage of Proposition No. 1 would allow the Enumclaw School District No. 216 to replace an existing educational programs and operations levy that will expire at the end of calendar year 2026 by levying $15,399,182 in property taxes within the District for collection in 2027, $16,316,364 for collection in 2028, $17,288,577 for collection in 2029, and $18,319,122 for collection in 2030.
If voters approve this Proposition, these funds would be deposited into the District’s General Fund and used to pay for eligible educational programs and operations not funded by the State of Washington, including counselors, nurses and health room professionals, safety and security, custodians, librarians, para-educators, certificated staff, early learning services, student support services, educational programs and services, teaching and school supplies, transportation, child nutrition services, social and mental health services, music and arts programs, athletics, co-curricular programs and the maintenance of playgrounds, playfields, and other facilities and operational costs. If authorized by the voters and based on projected assessed valuation information, the District estimates a tax rate of $1.74 per $1,000 of assessed value in each of the four collection years.
Exemptions from taxes may be available to homeowners who are 61 or older, or disabled, and who meet certain income requirements. For information regarding exemptions, call the King County Assessor at (206) 296-7300.
