History of the local tax
The 2019 Encouraging Investments in Affordable and Supportive Housing Act (RCW 82.14.540) 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 identifies who must report.
