City of Vancouver Proposition No. 4
Police and Public Safety Services Levy Lid Lift The Vancouver City Council adopted Resolution M-4288 concerning a levy lid lift to fund police and public safety. If approved, this proposition would fund police and public safety services, including staffing, equipment, technology, facilities, and criminal justice costs; increase Vancouver's regular property tax by approximately $0.41/$1,000 assessed valuation, for a maximum levy rate not to exceed $2.63/$1,000 for 2025; set the limit factor for Vancouver's total regular property tax levy for 2026-2030 to 100% plus annual increase of 5%; and authorize the 2030 levy amount as the basis to calculate subsequent levies (84.55 RCW). Should this proposition be approved?
