In 2021 and 2023 the Washington State Legislature passed bills authorizing local governments to establish Local Tax Increment Finance (LTIF) areas or “increment areas” to fund certain public improvements. An “increment area” is an area where regular property taxes are apportioned to fund public improvement projects. Learn more about the requirements, restrictions, requisite actions, tax levy impact, and how the LTIF program works here: Special Notice: Legislative changes to tax increment financing (wa.gov).
