WHEREAS, RCW 84.55.120 requires a taxing district that collects regular levies to hold a public hearing on revenue sources for the district's following year's current expense budget, including consideration of possible increases in property tax revenues; and WHEREAS, pursuant to RCW 84.55.120 and the City Charter, on November 7, 2023, upon due and proper legal notice, the Yakima City Council held a public hearing to consider the City's general government revenue sources for the 2024 current expense budget, and the total proposed property tax levy amount pertaining to 2024 revenues from real and personal property taxes; and WHEREAS, RCW 84.55.120 provides that no increase in property tax revenue, other than that resulting from the addition of new construction, improvements to property, and any increase in the value of state-assessed property, may be authorized by a taxing district, except by adoption of a separate ordinance or resolution, pursuant to notice, specifically authorizing the increase in terms of both dollars and percentage; and WHEREAS, RCW 84.55.005 sets the limit factor for the increase in the regular property tax levy at the lesser of one hundred one percent or one hundred percent plus inflation, which is defined as the percentage change in the implicit price deflator (IPD) for personal consumption expenditures for the United States as published for the most recent twelve-month period by the bureau of economic analysis of the federal department of commerce by September 25th of the year before the taxes are payable; and WHEREAS, the applicable percentage change in the Implicit Price Deflator was 3.67%; and WHEREAS, RCW 84.55.0101 allows a taxing district to use a limit factor of one hundred one percent upon a finding of substantial need by the legislative authority by a majority vote; and WHEREAS, the City Council, after the public hearing on November 7, 2023 and, and after duly considering all relevant evidence and testimony presented, has determined that the City requires an increase in property tax revenue from the previous year, along with the addition of new construction and improvements to property and any increase in the value of state-assessed property, in order to discharge the expected expenses and obligations of the City, and as being necessary and in the best interests of the citizens of the City of Yakima; and 4 ORDINANCE A WHEREAS, the maximum levy rate the City of Yakima can levy is $3.10/$1,000 assessed valuation (AV) plus $0.225/$1,000 AV specifically for Firemen's Relief and Pension Fund and will not change as a result of this ordinance; and WHEREAS, property tax is a tax based on ownership of a piece of real estate. A "levied property tax" is generally a tax imposed on property owners, based on the value of their property and the municipal government's needs; and WHEREAS, the city levy rate has decreased from $3.10/$1,000 AV to $2.07/$1,000 AV in 2023 and staff is projecting the levy rate for 2024 to be $1.85/$1,000 AV; and WHEREAS, in order to bring the current levy rate to the maximum allowed, a levy lid lift is required and the City of Yakima residents will need to approve such ballot measure; and WHEREAS, the amount of property tax levied for collection in 2023 was $21,207,174.38 for general government purposes; and WHEREAS, the discretionary increase in property tax levied attributable to the inflation factor for collection in 2024 shall be in the amount of$212,071.74, which is a percentage increase of 1.0% from the previous year; and WHEREAS, the non-discretionary increases in property tax levied for collection in 2024 can only be estimated due to the absence of final values to be provided by the Yakima County Assessor, now, therefore, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE CITY OF YAKIMA: Section 1.

To the extent the assessed valuation of the City is increasing, the underlying rate will likely decrease per $1,000 in assessed valuation. • The 2024 budget forecasted that 2024 property taxes would increase by 1.0 percent. Strateaic Plan Alianment The recommended 2024 mid-biennial budget, which is substantially supported by the property tax levy, will advance multiple Strategic Plan goals and objectives. Present Situation On November 6, 2001, Washington voters approved Initiative 747 (1-747), which limits the allowable increase in the property tax levy to 1.0%, or the rate of inflation, whichever is less. The intent of the Initiative was reaffirmed by the Legislature in November 2007. The measure of inflation used under this law is the Implicit Price Deflator (IPD). The IPD inflation rate for 2024 levy calculations is 3.67%. Staff recommends that the City Council approve a 1.0% increase in the property tax levy, which is the maximum increase allowed. Based on last year's General Fund base levy of $21,207,174.38, the increase will be $212,071.74. Authorization of this increase requires a simple majority vote of the City Council. Staff estimates that the City's general fund base property tax levy rate in 2024 will be $1.86 per $1,000 of assessed value, compared to the actual 2023 general fund property tax levy rate of $2.07 per $1,000. The decrease in the property tax levy rate is attributed to assessed values Page 1 of 3 8 in the City increasing by approximately 16.8% compared to the prior year. Because of the limit on property tax increases, as discussed above, the property tax levy rate declines as the assessed value increases. The statutory cap for the City's levy rate is $3.325 per $1,000 of assessed value. Example calculation of City Property Tax: 2023 2024 Annual Property Property Estimated 2023 Rate Tax 2024 Rate Tax Increase Median House Value $257,600 $302,500 General Fund Levy Rate 2.07 $532.38 1.86 $562.65 Total Payable to The City of Yakima $532.38 $562.65 $30.27 Median House Value provided by Yakima County Assessor's Office Some citizens may qualify for tax relief or qualify for a deferral program.To find out more information about this, residents should contact the Yakima County Assessor's Office at 509-574-1100 or visit their website at https://www.yakimacounty.us/218/Assessors-Office In addition to the base levy, the City collects new property tax revenue based on the value of new construction added to the assessment rolls during the prior year. The revenue to the City is calculated using the assessed value of new construction multiplied by the prior year's levy rate. The value of new construction is still being finalized by the County Assessor's Office and includes the value of utility new construction provided to the County Assessor by the State. The most recent estimate from the County Assessor's Office indicates more than $140,488,356 of new construction, which translates into$290,305.26 of additional City property tax revenue. The City's ordinance states the percentage and dollar amount increase in the City's base property tax levy as required by RCW 84.55.120. The County Assessor will determine the levy amount for new construction based on their final calculations. Advantage(s) Continued funding will be available from the City's primary revenue source to pay the cost of essential City services. Disadvantage(s) The 1.0% increase would potentially result in a slightly higher base property tax payment. Budget Impact The 2024 Mid-Biennial Budget relies on a 1%annual increase in property tax.

Strategic Plan Alignment Fiscal Sustainability Present Situation Pursuant to RCW 35.33.135, the City Council must approve an ordinance to fix and authorize the Yakima County Assessor's Office to levy ad valorem taxes necessary to fund the City of Yakima's 2024 Mid-Biennial Budget. An ad valorem tax (Latin for"according to value") is defined as a tax based on the value of real estate or personal property. An ad valorem tax is typically imposed at the time of a transaction(s) (a sales tax or value-added tax (VAT)), but it may be imposed on an annual basis (real or personal property tax) or in connection with another significant event (i.e., inheritance tax). Staff currently estimates the 2024 real and personal property tax levy as $21,848,978.86, which includes a preliminary estimate of $793.39 in property tax revenue from annexation and $290,305.26 in property tax revenue from new construction. The property tax estimate from new construction will be updated based on the final valuation provided by the Assessor's Office. The estimate of property tax revenue does not include the change in value of state-assessed utility property. Both of these amounts will not be final until December 2023. Page 1 of 2 11 City staff recommends that the City Council approve ad valorem taxes in the amount of $21,848,978.86, which is needed to fund the City's 2024 Mid-Biennial budget. Approving ad valorem taxes of $21,848,978.86 allows the County Assessor's Office to levy real and personal property taxes to the full extent allowed under Washington State law. If the City Council authorizes the ad valorem tax amount too low, the County Assessor's Office will only be allowed to levy up to the amount authorized by the City Council. Staff recommends that the City Council approve ad valorem taxes in the amount of $21,848,978.86 for the 2024 real and personal property tax levy within the city limits of Yakima. This estimated revenue source is necessary to fund the 2024 Mid-Biennial Budget for the City of Yakima. Advantage(s) Ad valorem taxes provide continued funding from the City's primary revenue source, which is necessary to fund the 2024 Mid-Biennial Budget. Disadvantage(s) Ad valorem taxes increase; however, the increase is small, and the specific impact on a property owner is dependent on the change in their assessed value. Budget Impact The amount of the ad valorem tax ordinance is included in the 2024 Mid-Biennial Budget. Prior Council Review 2024 Mid-Biennial Budget Study Session-October 10,2024 2024 Mid-Biennial Budget Study Session- October 24, 2024 Action Requested On November 7, 2023, conduct the public hearing and pass ordinances.

Funding refunds paid within the preceding twelve months, including interest, and b. Reimbursing the taxing district for taxes abated or cancelled, offset by any supplemental tax collected within the preceding twelve months. RCW 84.69.180 also gives a taxing district the authority to recover that portion of their levy which was reduced within the preceding twelve months due to tax record adjustments such as senior exemptions, DOR exemptions, government exemptions and others. We calculate the information from October 1st through September 30th of each year. By establishing this earlier date, each district will have the opportunity to discuss this levy with your Board of Directors prior to submitting your levy requests. We will be providing this information to the County Assessor who you would work with, as you do with all levies. In addition, we will continue to submit the calculation to the Board of County Commissioners. Listed below are the refund levy amounts calculated in accordance with RCW 84.69.180 for the period of 10/01/2022 through 09/30/2023, including interest paid.
