- What it does
- Proposition No. 1 Pacific County Fire Protection District No. 6 Authorizing Regular Property Tax Levy The Board of Fire Commissioners of Pacific County Fire Protection District No. 6 (the "District"), adopted Resolution No. 2026-7-23-1 concerning a proposition to authorize the District's regular property tax levy. This measure would authorize a regular property tax levy of $.50 per $1,000.00 of assessed valuation in 2026 (for collection in 2027) and would authorize a limit factor of up to 106% (but not to exceed the $1.50 per $1,000.00 assessed value rate) for each of the five succeeding years. The maximum allowable levy in 2031, collected in 2032, shall serve as the base for subsequent levy limitations as provided by Chapter 84.55 RCW.
- A YES vote means
- Pacific County Fire Protection District No. 6 would levy $.50 per $1,000 of assessed value for collection in 2027, with yearly increases of up to 6% (never above $1.50 per $1,000) for the next five years.
- A NO vote means
- The District would not be authorized to levy this rate and these yearly increases.
- Needed to pass
- A simple majority: more than half of the YES and NO votes on this measure must be YES. Leaving it blank doesn't count either way.
- Left–right lean
- Not a left–right issue: a procedural or local question that liberals and conservatives don't typically split on (AI read of the official ballot summary).
Background
According to the explanatory statement by Commission Chair Glenn A. Killingbeck, the district is asking voters to restore its fire levy to $0.50 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2026, and to let its annual revenue grow by up to 6% in each of the following five years.
The statement explains that without voter approval, state law caps a fire district's annual revenue growth at 1% over the prior year.
The statement calls the levy the district's primary source of funding for emergency services, and says approval would let it significantly improve and expand fire and emergency services.
Per the Pacific County voters' pamphlet, a committee for the measure was appointed but submitted no statement, and no committee against was appointed.
