City of Tukwila
Allan Ekberg, Mayor
INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: Committee of the Whole
FROM: David Cline, City Administrator
Vicky Carlsen, Finance Director
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: March 28, 2023 Updated April 18, 2023
SUBJECT: Financial Considerations Regarding Annexation to the Puget Sound Fire
Authority
ISSUE
The Council has asked staff to provide additional information on financial considerations
regarding annexation to the Puget Sound Fire Authority.
BACKGROUND
In 2022 the City made the decision to contract with the Puget Sound Fire Authority (PSRFA) for
the delivery of fire and EMS services in Tukwila. This decision was made based on a
community-driven process that included formal recommendations from the City’s Future of Fire
and EMS Services Community Advisory Committee. That group recommended annexation to
the PSRFA because of the high level of service the PSRFA is able to provide – above and
beyond what Tukwila was able to provide with an in-house Fire Department – and because of
the long-term financial sustainability of the provision of fire, EMS and other municipal services in
Tukwila. The City Council adopted the Advisory Committee’s recommendations, which the
Mayor also supported, and the City began contracting with the PSRFA on January 1, 2023 with
the goal of a formal annexation within two years. To access the report, visit

OVERVIEW
Annexation into the RFA was the consensus of the 2021/2022 Future of Fire and EMS
Services Advisory Committee in order to ensure the long-term sustainability of
funding Fire and EMS services and to enhance Fire and EMS services in the City of
Tukwila
The Committee also understood that annexation would also provide the City a tool to
address structural funding gaps; annexation would allow the City to return to pre-
pandemic service levels
Annexation allows for a more equitable allocation of responsibility for funding fire
services as larger, more complex buildings pay a higher proportion of fire services
As a part of the adopted 2023/2024 biennial budget, the City anticipated lowering the
City’s property tax levy rate upon annexation in 2025
The 2024 Council will ultimately make the decision on what rate to levy as a part of the
2025/2026 budget, but the current adopted six-year plan includes the following
assumptions:
o Reduce property taxes levied by the City
o Return service levels to pre-pandemic levels
o In Q3 of 2023, initiate the long-term fiscal sustainability planning effort,
which includes the formation of an advisory committee of residents and other

stakeholders to be completed in Q2 of 2024 to provide long-term fiscal solutions
to the City Council in time to inform the 2025/2026 budget
The 2023/2024 adopted budget includes the following property tax rates in the six-year
plan:
The decision regarding the City’s 2025 property tax levy rate rests with the next Council.
Similarly, the PSRFA cannot predict its 2025 rate as it is dependent on a number of
factors, including the overall assessed value of every property in the RFA.
Because of these realities the City can only rely on 2023 numbers and the assumptions
referenced above to provide examples on the impacts to property owners.
While staff have provided an example below on impacts to one single-family property
below, it is important to remember that this is in 2023 dollars and that the Fire Benefit
Charge (FBC) is calculated on square footage and therefore is specific to the example
property below; a single-family home with less square footage than the example below
will pay less FBC.
The adopted six-year plan anticipates the following changes in property taxes with
annexation for a single-family homeowner with a current assessed value of $604,000
and square footage of 2,980 sq ft1 (in 2023 dollars):
A single-family homeowner with a home with an assessed value of $604,000 and square
footage of 2,890 sq ft would pay an additional $385 annually, approximately $32 more a
month to ensure Tukwila has:
1 Fire Benefit Charge (FBC) is based on square footage to ensure larger buildings that require more
resources to combat fires pay a larger share than smaller ones requiring less resources. Larger buildings
pay more FBC than smaller ones; actual FBC cost are calculated directly a property’s square footage.
2 Includes voter-approved Public Safety bond, approximately $309 for this specific single-family house.

UPDATE, APRIL 24, 2023 FINANCE & GOVERNANCE
The Council has asked for more information regarding the potential financial impacts of
annexation into the RFA.
Impacts to property owners:
Attached is a spreadsheet of various properties in Tukwila that shows, in 2023 dollars, what the
Fire Benefit Charge and RFA tax levy would be for the specific parcels. It also shows the City’s
current full levy rate, which includes the voter-approved bonds, the reduction should the 2024
City Council choose to levy the rate currently in the six-year financial plan and the difference
between today’s levy rate and the combined RFA levy, FBC and reduced City levy. This
information is for illustrative purposes only and is based on 2023 data, which is what is
available.
Property Tax Exemptions for Seniors, Persons with Disabilities and Disabled Veterans
From the brochure “State law provides a tax benefit program for senior citizens, disabled
persons, and veterans: property tax exemptions and property tax deferrals.
Under the exemption program, the value of your Washington State residence is frozen for
property tax purposes, and you become exempt from all excess and special levies and possibly
regular levies – resulting in a reduction in your property taxes. The exemption is available for
your primary residence and up to one acre of land. A mobile home may qualify, even if the land
where the mobile home is located is leased or rented.
Basic Qualifications
1. Annual household income under $58,423 (excluding VA disability compensation).
2. Own and occupy property as your principal residence for at least nine months per year, including nine months during 2019. 3. Are over the age of 61, disabled, or a veteran with at least an 80% total disability rating.
The Washington State Legislature recently passed a bill that will increase the household income
threshold in King County to $72,000, so more homeowners will be eligible for the exemption.
This will go into effect for the 2024 tax cycle based on 2023 income. Currently 211
homeowners in Tukwila are enrolled in the program.
Considerations for the 2024 Council:
As has been discussed, the 2023/2024 biennial City budget is balanced. The 2025/2026 budget
process, which will take place in 2024, will determine the service levels for the next biennium,
which are directly tied to City revenues. Considerations the next Council will need to work
through include: 9

Recommendations from the long-term fiscal sustainability effort, which will be informed by
a professional firm selected through an RFQ process and a stakeholder advisory group
made up of residents, businesses and other interested parties
Community input and engagement on what service levels the Tukwila community desires
Outcome of the August 1, 2023 election
Weighing service levels with revenues; should the 2024 Council choose to reduce
revenues it will result in reduced service levels, which would likely include reduction of
staffing in many departments, including contracted services, and elimination of current
services to the community.

TAX EXEMPTIONS
Did you know? State law provides a tax benefit program for senior citizens, disabled persons,
and veterans: property tax exemptions and property tax deferrals.
Under the exemption program, the value of your Washington State residence is frozen for
property tax purposes, and you become exempt from all excess and special levies and possibly
regular levies – resulting in a reduction in your property taxes. The exemption is available for
your primary residence and up to one acre of land. A mobile home may qualify, even if the
land where the mobile home is located is leased or rented.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Why does my IRS return AGI indicate that I am below $58,423 yet I am still denied
the exemption?
One reason may be that Federal tax law is not the same as the laws governing the Washington
State property tax relief program. While we use the IRS return as a starting point, we do consider
other sources of income that Federal law may not consider taxable.
Two examples of differences between Federal IRS laws and Washington State laws are:
• Under Federal IRS laws, Social Security Benefits may be completely excluded from your
taxable income, or may be considered partially taxable or fully taxable depending on your
individual circumstances.
For the Washington State property tax exemption program, we consider all of your social
security as income, so we must add back any amount that was excluded in the AGI calculation
on your federal return.
• Under Federal IRS laws, capital losses are an allowable deduction from any capital gains you
may have from your investments.
For the property tax exemption program, we do not allow any deductions of any capital losses.
Capital gains are added to the AGI calculation without any loss deduction. Both of these items
could result in your income exceeding the $58,423 income limit for the property tax exemption
program even though the AGI on your tax return is below $58,423.
RENEWALS
Will I need to reapply if I have already been approved for the exemption?
You will be required to reapply for the exemption at least once every 4 years. We will send
a renewal application when it is time for you to reapply. You will need to provide proof of
identification, ownership, and income data when you return the renewal form.
What happens if I fail to respond to a renewal request?
If you fail to return your renewal form and the necessary documents, you will be removed from
the program and you will begin paying the full tax amount based on your property’s current
market value.

taxrelief.kingcounty.gov
What if I fail to send in my documents with my renewal request?
We will send you an email or letter requesting the missing information. You will have 30 days to
respond. If we still do not hear back you will receive a second notice, your exemption will be removed
and you will begin paying the full tax amount based on your property’s current market value.
FROZEN VALUES
What is a frozen value?
The market value of your home is “frozen” as of January 1st of the initial year you qualify for the
property tax exemption. For each year after your initial approval, you will be taxed on either the
frozen value or current market value if lower.
Can my original frozen value go higher?
Yes. If your home undergoes new construction or a remodel, say a new bedroom, the value for the
new addition or remodel is added to your frozen value. This new total will become your new frozen
taxable value.
INCOME
What if I am over the income limit for more than one year?
If your income has increased for more than one year, you will be removed from the exemption
program and will begin paying the higher tax rate on your property’s current market value. If, at some
point in the future, your income is again below the $58,423 limit, you can reapply to the program.
If you are off the program for more than one year, a new frozen value will be determined for the year
you reapply.
What if I have a change in income and it is not time for me to renew my application?
It is your obligation to let the Exemption Unit know when you have any life-altering situation
affecting your exemption, such as new income source or change in ownership. Please call us at
206-296-3920 or write to us so we can discuss the situation.
For example:
• If you reach 70.5 years of age, you may need to start drawing on your IRA or Annuity funds.
This could result in a change to your exemption level.
• If you lose a spouse or partner, this could result in a change in your exemption level.

• If you give all or a portion of your property to someone else, this could result
in a change in your exemption level.
• If in doubt about whether your changing circumstances could affect your
exemption level, please contact our office for assistance at 206-296-3920.
What happens if I have been on the program for several years and now do not qualify?
If your income goes over the $58,423 limit, you must be removed from the program for the one
year you do not qualify. You will pay the higher taxes on your current market value for that one
year. However, you may reapply the next year and may be reinstated at your original frozen value
if your income returns to a level below the $58,423 in that next year. You would only pay the
higher taxes for the one year that you do not qualify.
For example:
Your annual income goes over the $58,423 limit due to a one-time IRA disbursement. We will
remove you from the program for that year and you will pay your regular tax bill based on your
current market value. If your income returns to levels below the $58,423 limit, you can reapply
for the next tax year, return to the original frozen value and start receiving the reduction in taxes
again.
What do I do if I have no income or am extremely low income?
Even if you have no income, you are paying your expenses with some funding source. In many
cases seniors use reverse mortgages, receive funds from their children or use savings accounts
to pay their household expenses. While
these sources are not considered “income”
in the calculation of your disposable income,
they are a source of funds and you must
report the source and the amount to us.
It is acknowledged that there are inherent
costs to living and maintaining a home.
Items such as food, gas for the car and
utilities are paid at the very least.

THE APPLICATION PROCESS AND IRS QUESTIONS
What if I need assistance filing the online application or have questions about
the documentation you require?
Please call our office at 206-296-3920. We have experienced exemptions staff ready
and willing to assist you in completing your forms. They can also answer questions about
which documents you should provide.
Once I have applied for an exemption, when will I hear from your office?
We will send an email or letter notifying you that we have your application. Depending
on the current workload, you should receive another email or letter within 4-6 weeks.
This second message will state that you have: (1) been approved for an exemption;
(2) been denied the exemption (we will provide you with your appeal rights); or
(3) provided insufficient documentation and we still need more information.
Why do you want my IRS return?
Federal tax laws and the property tax relief laws are
different. However, we use the IRS return as a starting
point to calculate and verify your income and to
determine your exemption level.
What if I do not file an IRS return?
We will still need verification of your income sources.
We will request information such as bank deposits,
1099s, reverse mortgage information, social security
statements or other year-end statements that provide
information on how you pay your daily, monthly and
yearly expenses.
