Title
Motion 26-370, approving the apportionment of 2025 Public Utility District Privilege Taxes
body
DEPARTMENT: Finance
ORIGINATOR: Karla Beers
EXECUTIVE RECOMMENDATION: Approved by Kent Patton 9/1/26
PURPOSE: This action will approve the distribution of the 2025 PUD privilege taxes to Snohomish County and to Snohomish County cities
BACKGROUND: Each year, the County receives funds representing the privilege tax derived from the Snohomish County PUD’s sale of electric energy within unincorporated Snohomish County, and to the cities within the incorporated area of Snohomish County. PUD provides the County with the breakdown of gross sales by City (attached). The amount of privilege tax remittance due back to the cities is based on three-fourths of one percent of gross sales. This motion directs the Treasurer to distribute the proceeds from the 2025 PUD privilege tax to the cities. The remaining balance is revenue to the County. The total 2025 privilege tax that will be retained by the County is $5,343,779. The 2025 distributions to the cities reflect an adjustment of $(121,078) due to a 2024 reduction in revenue imposed by the state.
