Edmonds mulls November property tax levy lid lift
EVERETT — The city of Edmonds is weighing its options for a potential November ballot measure to address its budget crisis.
In December, the City Council passed its 2025-26 budget, which included annexing into South County Fire — saving the city $6.5 million — and a $6 million property tax levy lid lift.
Voters approved annexation in April. Now, the city is mulling if a potential levy lid lift should be higher than $6 million.
The city is authorized to raise the general fund levy by 1% each year without a vote. For any larger increase, the council must place a levy lid lift measure on the ballot.
