Olympia – This morning the House Finance Committee passed HB 1764 which would replace the 1% property tax cap with a new cap tracking inflation and population growth.
The vote was party-line, though Ranking Minority Member Rep. Terry Nealey indicated a willingness to continue discussions. Comments from committee members consistently referenced the compelling testimony of the county and city representatives who testified in support of the bill.
We particularly appreciate the leadership of Committee Chair Rep. Kristine Lytton for driving the bill forward.
