About the Maintenance & Operations Excess Levy
If approved by the voters, Spokane Valley Fire Department will be authorized to levy a maintenance and operations excess levy in the sum of $25,000,000.00 per year for four consecutive years beginning in 2023 which is approximately $1.08 per $1,000.00 of true and assessed valuation, to be collected in each succeeding year (2024 – 2027). The levy will replace the current excess levy which expires in 2023 and is in addition to the District’s regular tax levy. The District continues to experience increases in the cost of specialized equipment, personnel, training, and supplies required by various laws, codes, and standards. The levy will enable the District to maintain current staffing and service levels.
