The City Council of the City of Maple Valley passed Ordinance No. 23-780 concerning funding for public safety services. This proposition funds public safety and maintains current police staffing/service levels, including safety patrols, school zone traffic enforcement, school resource officer, and crime prevention programs, by increasing the City’s regular property tax to a maximum rate of $1.18/$1,000 of assessed valuation (generating approximately $2,200,000 for public safety) for collection in 2024. The 2024 levy amount will be the basis to calculate subsequent levies, per RCW 84.55. Qualifying seniors, veterans, and others would be exempt, per RCW 84.36.

Should this proposition be approved:
