Mukilteo levy lid lift will hike average tax bill about $180 more a year
MUKILTEO — It will cost the average Mukilteo homeowner about $180 more a year in property taxes.
Supporters asking Mukilteo voters to renew the levy for Emergency Medical Services say it’s worth it for the highest level of pre-hospital care possible.
Opponents say the property tax increase is not justified or needed to maintain the same quality of service.
Fire suppression is funded through a general property tax, but EMS is funded by a separate levy. The city is limited to a 1% revenue increase. Costs are increasing an average of 5%.
