ST3 tax increase calculator
Sound Transit 3 would require sizable tax increases to fund 56 more miles of light rail, plus commuter train and express bus extensions. To find your estimated 2017 tax increase:
- Enter your assessed property value for the 2017 tax year, as shown on the notice mailed this summer by your county assessor.
- Enter your household income to find an estimated sales-tax increase. These are derived from federal studies of consumer spending patterns, plugged into a Washington state government tax model, roughly broken out by income bracket.
- Enter the amounts listed as “RTA tax” that you paid as a fraction of your most recent car-tab bill or bills. If your green car-tab bill isn’t available, you can find the official amounts by entering your license plate number here.
