Assessor’s Office presents a ‘Levy Transparency Tool’

Estimate property tax amounts for levies on the 2026 November 3 ballot

||| FROM SAN JUAN COUNTY COMMUNICATIONS |||

The Assessor’s Office created a “Levy Transparency Tool” to help voters understand how levy propositions affect taxes. The tool includes summaries of levy propositions on the upcoming ballot and a comparison of the current tax amount and the estimated new tax amount if the proposition passes. 

Find the tool on the Assessor’s website: https://www.sanjuancountywa.gov/2433/Levy-Transparency-Tool. 

To explore the estimated tax changes for your property, open the tool in your web browser and enter your property’s assessed value. Select a taxing district proposition on your current ballot. 

The amount of change shown for a proposed levy is estimated using current assessed values. The actual amount for each levy won’t be finalized until January after final assessed values, new construction, and budget certifications are complete.
