What it does
Proposition No. 2 Stevens County Rural Library District Levy Lift For Library Services The Stevens County Rural Library District Board of Trustees adopted Resolution No. 02-2026 concerning its regular property tax levy. This proposition would authorize the District to restore its regular property tax levy rate from $0.27 to $0.44 per $1,000 of assessed value for collection in 2027 to provide continued funding for normal operation and maintenance of public libraries and library services. Thereafter, such levy amount would be used to compute limitations for subsequent year levies as authorized by chapter 84.55 RCW. Should this proposition be approved:
A YES vote means
Stevens County Rural Library District's property tax rate would go from $0.27 to $0.44 per $1,000 of assessed value for collection in 2027 to fund library operations and services.
A NO vote means

What it would cost
0.44 mills: $44 a year for every $100,000 of taxable value (a mill is $1 per $1,000). Taxable value is after exemptions such as homestead; your tax bill or property appraiser shows yours.
