*Survey required*

Commerce requires that jurisdictions receiving Affordable and Supportive Housing Sales Tax distributions [ [link removed] ] submit an expenditure and assistance report by completing the online survey [ [link removed] ].

*History of the local tax*

The 2019 Encouraging Investments in Affordable and Supportive Housing Act (RCW 82.14.540 [ [link removed] ]) authorized a new state-shared local tax for investments in affordable and supportive housing.

Affordable and Supportive Housing Sales and Use Tax revenues can be used for affordable housing activities benefiting households with incomes at 60% or less of the area median income, including new construction, acquisition and preservation/rehabilitation. Some jurisdictions use the revenues to provide rent assistance for income-eligible households.

Cities and counties receiving revenue from the Affordable and Supportive Housing Sales and Use Tax must report on the collection and use of those revenues annually. RCW 82.14.540 [ [link removed] ] identifies who must report.

*More information*

A detailed description of the Legislature?s reporting requirements and previous reports are online at Commerce?s Affordable and Supportive Housing Sales and Use Tax page [ [link removed] ]. For questions, contact Oliver Crain, policy contracts manager, by email at [email protected].
