The Enumclaw School District's overall tax rate includes the current remaining bond (2015), the current Educational Programs & Operations (EP&O) Levy (approved by voters in 2022), and our current Instructional Technology (Tech) Levy(approvedbyvotersin2020)
With the approval and renewal of both levies, our overall tax rate is still projected to decrease over the next four years due to growth and increased districtassessedvalue
This decrease is also due to the April 2025 bond refinance. ESD refinanced the District’s outstanding 2015 Bonds This successful refinancing reduced the District’s existing debt and will save taxpayers $3.36 million over the next nineyears
