Did you Know – Budget Edition
As a homeowner, one of your most significant expenses may be your annual property tax bill, which makes it important that you understand where your dollars are going. Property owners may think the total property tax bill is collected only by the City. This is only partially true.
Approximately 89% of your tax bill is distributed to other taxing districts like Highline School District, State School Fund, King County, or Fire District. The City’s piece of the pie is about 11%, which is distributed to the City of Normandy Park and used to provide services to the city, which include police, permitting, facilities maintenance, community development, and other functions like administration, finance, and clerk support services. We work hard to be good stewards of these resources and to provide residents with high-quality services. You will see more information about the FY 2023-2024 Budget in the coming weeks.
