RCW 82.14.370 Sales and use tax for public facilities in rural
counties. (1) The legislative authority of a rural county may impose
a sales and use tax in accordance with the terms of this chapter. The
tax is in addition to other taxes authorized by law and must be
collected from those persons who are taxable by the state under
chapters 82.08 and 82.12 RCW upon the occurrence of any taxable event
within the county. The rate of tax may not exceed 0.09 percent of the
selling price in the case of a sales tax or value of the article used
in the case of a use tax, except that for rural counties with
population densities between 60 and 100 persons per square mile, the
rate shall not exceed 0.04 percent before January 1, 2000.
(2) The tax imposed under subsection (1) of this section must be
deducted from the amount of tax otherwise required to be collected or
paid over to the department of revenue under chapter 82.08 or 82.12
RCW. The department of revenue must perform the collection of such
taxes on behalf of the county at no cost to the county.

purposes in rural counties;

that do not have an adopted overall economic development plan and do
not plan under the growth management act, the public facility must be
listed in the county's capital facilities plan or the capital
facilities plan of a city or town located within the county, or
provide affordable workforce housing infrastructure or facilities.
(c) In implementing this section, the county must consult with
cities, towns, and port districts located within the county and the
associate development organization serving the county to ensure that
the expenditure of money collected under this section meets the goals
of creating, attracting, expanding, and retaining businesses,
providing family -wage jobs, and providing affordable workforce housing
infrastructure or facilities and the use of money collected under this
section meets the requirements of (a) and (b) of this subsection. Each
county collecting money under this section must provide a report to
the office of the state auditor within 150 days after the close of
each fiscal year identifying in detail each new and continuing public
facility project, economic development purpose project, affordable
workforce housing infrastructure or facilities project, economic
development staff position, and qualifying provider project funded
with the tax authorized under this section and the amount of tax
proceeds allocated to such project or position in the prior fiscal
year. Any projects financed prior to June 10, 2004, from the proceeds
of obligations to which the tax imposed under subsection (1) of this
section has been pledged may not be deemed to be new projects under
this subsection. No new projects funded with money collected under

Certified on 7/12/2024 RCW 82.14.370 Page 2
Intent 2004 c 130: "It is the intent of the legislature in
enacting this 2004 act to reaffirm the original goals of the 1997 act
which first provided distressed counties with the local option sales
and use tax contained in RCW 82.14.370. The local option tax is now
available to all rural counties and the continuing legislative goal
for RCW 82.14.370 is to promote the creation, attraction, expansion,
and retention of businesses and provide for family -wage jobs." [2004 c
130 s 1.]
Finding—Intent-1999 c 311: "The legislature finds that while
Washington's economy is currently prospering, economic growth
continues to be uneven, particularly as between metropolitan and rural
areas. This has created in effect two Washingtons: One afflicted by
inadequate infrastructure to support and attract investment, another
suffering from congestion and soaring housing prices. In order to
address these problems, the legislature intends to use resources
strategically to build on our state's strengths while addressing
threats to our prosperity." [1999 c 311 s 1.]
Part headings and subheadings not law 1999 c 311: "Part headings
and subheadings used in this act are not any part of the law." [1999 c

305, 401, 402, 601, and 605 of this act take effect August 1, 1999011
[1999 c 311 s 604.]
Severability-1999 c 311: "If any provision of this act or its
application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the
remainder of the act or the application of the provision to other
persons or circumstances is not affected." [1999 c 311 s 606.]
Intent-1997 c 366: "The legislature recognizes the economic
hardship that rural distressed areas throughout the state have
undergone in recent years. Numerous rural distressed areas across the
state have encountered serious economic downturns resulting in
significant job loss and business failure. In 1991 the legislature
enacted two major pieces of legislation to promote economic
development and job creation, with particular emphasis on worker
training, income, and emergency services support, along with community
revitalization through planning services and infrastructure
assistance. However even though these programs have been of
assistance, rural distressed areas still face serious economic
problems including: Above -average unemployment rates from job losses
and below -average employment growth; low rate of business start-ups;
and persistent erosion of vitally important resource -driven
industries.
The legislature also recognizes that rural distressed areas in
Washington have an abiding ability and consistent will to overcome
these economic obstacles by building upon their historic foundations
of business enterprise, local leadership, and outstanding work ethic.
The legislature intends to assist rural distressed areas in their
ongoing efforts to address these difficult economic problems by
providing a comprehensive and significant array of economic tools,
necessary to harness the persistent and undaunted spirit of enterprise
Certified on 7/12/2024 RCW 82.14.370 Page 3
that resides in the citizens of rural distressed areas throughout the
state.
The further intent of this act is to provide:
(1) A strategically designed plan of assistance, emphasizing
state, local, and private sector leadership and partnership;
(2) A comprehensive and significant array of business assistance,
services, and tax incentives that are accountable and performance
driven;
(3) An array of community assistance including infrastructure
development and business retention, attraction, and expansion programs
that will provide a competitive advantage to rural distressed areas
throughout Washington; and
(4) Regulatory relief to reduce and streamline zoning,
permitting, and regulatory requirements in order to enhance the
capability of businesses to grow and prosper in rural distressed
areas .Ty [1997 c 366 s 1.]
Goals 1997 c 366: "The primary goals of chapter 366, Laws of
1997 are to:
(1) Promote the ongoing operation of business in rural distressed
areas;
(2) Promote the expansion of existing businesses in rural
distressed areas;
(3) Attract new businesses to rural distressed areas;
(4) Assist in the development of new businesses from within rural
distressed areas;
(5) Provide family -wage jobs to the citizens of rural distressed
areas; and
(6)' Promote the development of communities of excellence in rural
distressed areas." [1997 c 366 s 2.]
Severability-1997 c 366: "If any provision of this act or its
application to any person or circumstance is held invalid, the
remainder of the act or the application of the provision to other
persons or circumstances is not affected." [1997.c 366 s 11.]
Captions and part headings not law 1997 c 366: "Section captions
