What is the noxious weed assessment that appears on my tax bill?
In 1998 the King County Noxious Weed Control Board asked the Metropolitan King County Council to put a small special assessment on each property tax bill to fund the weed control program. Currently the assessment is $2.10 a year, per parcel with an additional $0.09 per acre owned. As authorized by state law, many Washington counties now have noxious weed assessments on their property tax bills so weed programs can have a dedicated source of funding.
