Text Box: PROPERTY TAX: Initiative 747, passed in November 2001, limits the increase in the property tax levy to 1% more than the previous year plus new construction. Prior to the passage of this initiative the Town could increase its levy by 6% without a vote of its citizens. The Town's taxable assessed valuation for 2005 taxes is $336,854,972. SALES TAX: The Town levies a 1% local retail sales tax on goods and services purchased within the Town limits. 15% of the sales tax collected by the Town is distributed to the County. In 2003 the Town collected sales tax on the construction of its own wastewater treatment plant and the Friday Harbor Center building. 2004 revenue includes the sales tax collected on the construction of the new ferry dock. This project is scheduled for completion in June 2005. There are no major projects on the horizon. ADDITIONAL SALES TAX: The County levies an additional 2/10 of 1% sales tax within the Town for criminal justice and juvenile detention. The Town receives a portion of the criminal justice tax which is distributed on the basis of population after the County receives 10% of the revenue off the top. All of the funds collected for juvenile detention are distributed to the County. UTILITY TAX: For the past 14 years the Town has levied a 3.9% tax on the revenue of its own utilities. These funds were used to support the Town's Street Fund. In 2005 this levy will be repealed. LEASEHOLD TAX: The State levies a 12.84% tax on leases of property owned by a public entity. The Town receives 6% of the revenue generated in its limits by this tax. The majority of these funds are generated from leases, including moorage, held by the Port of Friday Harbor.

Text Box: Licenses are usually required for regulatory purposes. Permits aid in the regulation of certain activities. BUSINESS LICENSES: The Town charges a $42.00 annual fee to conduct business within the Town limits. The number of businesses remain at about the same level. The Town business year begins July 1st.

The amount of this fee is based on the assessed valuation of the project. 2003 permit fee revenues were unusually high due to a major construction project in town and the completion of a new subdivision.

CLEARING & GRADING PERMITS: Permits are issued for clearing, grading or filling usually in conjunction with site development.

Text Box: State Entitlements are moneys furnished by the State to local governments based on a distribution formula which is usually a per capita basis. Since the passage of Initiative 695, the Town Current Fund no longer receives any State Shared Revenues. CRIMINAL JUSTICE FUNDS: The State distributes funds to cities and towns to help pay for law enforcement programs. Prior to 2004, these funds were distributed through various application processes. The recent passage of State legislation changed the distribution of these funds to a per capita basis. LIQUOR EXCISE TAX AND PROFITS: Cities and Towns are responsible for policing liquor establishments located within their borders but are precluded from taxing them because of the State liquor monopoly. The State distributes a portion of the revenues back to local jurisdictions on a per capita basis to help defray policing costs. The Town must devote 2% of this revenue to substance abuse treatment programs. BORDER PATROL: Since the Town's watershed is within seven miles of the Canadian border, it receives funds from the State to help with law enforcement costs incurred by our neighboring visitors. Seven jurisdictions in the State receive these monies which come from a portion of the State's liquor profits. GRANTS: In 2003 the Port of Friday Harbor contributed funds towards the purchase of the Town's new fire boat. The Town also received a grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) for the purchase of radios and self contained breathing apparatus (SCBAs). The Washington State Fire Marshall's office will provide reimbursement for those fire fighters training under the State's basic firefighter program. The Town will receive a grant from the State Department of Community, Trade & Economic Development (CTED) for aerial photos of the Town's Urban Growth Area (UGA).

Town policy is that the parking enforcement program "break even". Revenue generated from overtime parking infractions should cover the costs of the parking enforcement officers and San Juan County District Court's filing fees. In 2000 the cost of a parking ticket increased from $15.00 to $20.00 In 2005 a parking ticket will be $22.00.

Text Box: INVESTMENT INTEREST: The largest miscellaneous revenue is generated from investments. Interest income depends on money available to invest and the current investment rates. The average annual interest rate in 2000 was 6.18% and generated over $35,000 in revenue for the Current Fund. The 2003 annual average was 1.16%. The 2004 average interest rate increased to 1.32%. Interest income from the investment of "excess treasurer's cash" is deposited into the Current Fund. INTEREST SALES TAX: The Town also receives interest on the investment of sales tax revenue collected by the State which is invested by the State before distribution to the Town. DONATIONS: Occasionally the Town receives a monetary gift from an individual or group. In 2003 the Friday Harbor firefighters association donated funds to help purchase the new fire boat.
