Executive summary
Overview
The 2019 Encouraging Investments in Affordable and Supportive Housing Act (RCW 82.14.540) authorized a
new sales tax credit for housing investments. The tax credit does not increase the tax rate for consumers;
instead, it shares a portion of the 6.5% state sales tax with participating cities, counties and towns. The
maximum rate imposed may not exceed either 0.0146% or 0.0073%. These sales tax distributions will expire
20 years after the jurisdiction first imposed the tax (in 2039 or 2040).

Jurisdictions implementing the tax must report annually to the Department of Commerce (Commerce) by
October 1 on the "collection and use of the revenues," as prescribed by WAC 365-240-030.


State fiscal year 2024 data
Commerce collected spending data from jurisdictions for the period from July 1, 2023, to June 30, 2024.
Commerce used a proactive data collection process, including emailing a survey to jurisdictions and calling
local officials. This led to 118 jurisdictions completing the required annual report on revenue spending for
state fiscal year 2024.

Twenty-eight of the 127 jurisdictions participate in interlocal agreements (ILA) to pool and distribute their
revenue.

Distributions
   The total DOR distribution statewide was $53,665,468.57
   127 jurisdictions received distributions from the Department of Revenue (DOR):

   •   90 cities
   •   37 counties

Spending
Fifty-five jurisdictions or ILAs reported spending a total of $26,728,644.96 on new or existing projects:
    20 jurisdictions or ILAs reported spending or committed $1,499,676.01 toward capital projects
    15 jurisdictions or ILAs reported spending $1,499,676.01 on rent assistance programs
    13 jurisdictions or ILAs reported spending $8,421,812.07 on operations and maintenance costs
    7 jurisdictions or ILAs reported spending $5,578,091.21 on other expenses

Introduction
Tax rate
The tax rate is based on three factors at the time of adoption:
1. The date of adoption
2. The presence of a qualifying local tax (cities only)
3. Whether the corresponding city or county was a participating jurisdiction

The tax rate that jurisdictions can receive is different for counties and cities. The tax rate also depends on
whether a jurisdiction had a "qualifying local tax" in place before July 27, 2020.

Cities
Participating cities with a qualifying local tax in place on July 27, 2020
The tax rate is 0.0146% of taxable retail sales for a participating city with a qualifying local tax imposed before
July 27, 2020, with the revenues dedicated to affordable housing. The four eligible qualifying local taxes are:

1.   Affordable housing levy under RCW 84.52.105
2.   Housing and related services sales tax under RCW 82.14.530
3.   Levy lid lift that is restricted to affordable housing under RCW 84.55.050
4.   Mental health and chemical dependency sales under RCW 82.14.460 (only applicable to Tacoma)

Participating cities without a qualifying local tax
The tax rate is 0.0073% of taxable retail sales within a participating city without a qualifying local tax if the
county the city is located in also chose to participate. If the county does not participate, the city received the
maximum 0.0146% until July 27, 2020, but nothing after that.1

Counties
Counties must elect to participate in the tax credit to receive distributions. The tax rate for participating
counties is 0.0146% of taxable retail sales in incorporated areas, with or without a qualifying local tax. In
incorporated areas, participating counties receive the 0.0146% rate unless the city has a qualifying local tax.
For cities that have a qualifying local tax and receive the 0.0146% rate, the county will not receive any
distributions from sales in that city. For participating cities without a qualifying local tax receiving a 0.0073%
share, the county will receive a 0.0073% share, too.


Maximum distribution cap
The maximum authorized tax distribution is based on the jurisdiction's taxable retail sales in state fiscal year
2019 multiplied by the authorized tax rate (0.0073% or 0.0146%). For example, if a city's taxable retail sales
were $1 million in fiscal year 2019, the maximum amount the city may receive is either $73 or $146 per fiscal
year, depending on its authorized rate. If that city had taxable retail sales of $50,000 for a particular month and
was eligible to receive the 0.0073% rate, it would receive $3.65 in tax distribution for that month.



1 This was a bill drafting error, according to the Association of Washington Cities. Legislation was passed to fix the issue, but the bill

was vetoed to maintain revenue for the state during the COVID-19 pandemic: Municipal Research and Services Center, "Revenue Guide
for Washington Counties," (November, 2024).

Allowable use of funds
Jurisdictions may use the revenue for the following activities under RCW 82.14.540(6a)2 for people with
incomes at or below 60% of the median income of the county or city imposing the tax:

     (i) Acquiring, rehabilitating, or constructing affordable housing, which may include new units within an existing
     structure or facilities providing supportive housing services under RCW 71.24.385 (behavioral health organizations);
     (ii) Funding the operations and maintenance costs of new units of affordable or supportive housing; or
     (iii) For providing rental assistance to tenants.


Administrative costs may not exceed 10 percent of the annual tax distributed. Jurisdictions may also issue
bonds against the tax revenue to finance loans or grants to nonprofit organizations or public housing
authorities.

Cities and counties may enter into interlocal agreements (ILAs) with other cities, counties and/or housing
authorities to pool and allocate the revenue.


Agency roles and activities
Department of Revenue
The Department of Revenue (DOR) interprets and implements RCW 82.14.540, distributes revenue monthly to
jurisdictions and calculates the maximum tax distribution participating jurisdictions may receive yearly. DOR
collects minimal information from jurisdictions to administer the tax.

Department of Commerce
Participating jurisdictions must report to Commerce annually on the "collection and use of the revenues."
Pursuant to RCW 82.14.540, Commerce conducted rulemaking in 2019 and 2020 to prescribe the content of
those reports. Commerce collects information from jurisdictions on the collection and use of revenues and
prepares this report annually.




2 Chapter 101, Laws of 2023 (SB 5604) amended the statute to allow all jurisdictions to use these funds for rental assistance and

administrative costs. Previously counties over 400,000 population and cities over 100,000 population could not use the funds for rent
assistance, and covering administrative costs was not an allowable use.
