Multi-Year Outlook

Starting with 2026 (the year before the lift) through Year 2 (2028). Year 1 is set by the $0.13 per $1,000 initial increase above. Years 2–2 grow the district's total collection — not the rate directly — using the limit factor approved by the lid lift (Year 2: 1.00%), applied to the prior year's collection.

*These figures are estimates only and do not include the effect of new construction, which can increase a district's levy base independent of the standard 1% limit and would increase total collections beyond what's shown here.

This is a permanent multi-year lid lift. The Year 2 (2028) level — an estimated $6,085,248 district-wide* — becomes the new permanent base. Standard 1% annual growth applies from that point forward.
How Washington's budget-based levy works

Washington taxing districts don't set a tax rate directly — they certify a total dollar budget to collect, and the rate is the result of dividing that budget by the district's total assessed value. For 2026 (taxes payable in 2026), Timberland Regional Library certified a regular levy budget of , which produced a rate of per $1,000 of assessed value district-wide. Your estimate above applies that certified rate to your own property's assessed value — it's your share of that district-wide budget.

This tool estimates Timberland Regional Library's regular property tax levy only — one line among several on a property tax bill (which may include other levies, including County, Roads, City, Fire, State, Port levies). The $0.224404 per $1,000 rate reflects the district's certified 2026 regular levy budget of $3,862,953.37 divided across the district's total assessed value; because Washington is a budget-based system, this rate will be recalculated each year as assessed values change, even with no change in budget. The proposed lid lift would raise the rate by $0.13 per $1,000 in Year 1, then increase the district's total collection by an approved percentage each year through Year 2 (2028), with the Year 2 collection level becoming the base for future levy limit calculations if approved. For details on how Timberland Regional Library plans to use these funds, see the official ballot measure language.

*The proposed collection amounts shown are estimates based on the rate increase applied to current assessed values. All levies are certified to the Assessor at the end of the year, so the actual 2027 amount won't be finalized until then, once final assessed values, new construction, and budget certifications are complete.
