City Scene July 2017 EMS levy on Aug. 1 primary election ballot To maintain emergency medical services including ambulances and paramedics, Marysville voters will consider resetting the levy rate for property taxes dedicated to those services. If voters approve, the EMS levy rate in 2018 would return to 50 cents per $1,000 of assessed property value, the same rate approved by voters in 2008. For a Marysville home with the average assessed value of $250,000, this would mean an estimated increase of $28.60 per year, or $2.38 per month. The estimated total annual EMS tax for a $250,000 home in 2018 would be $125. From 2019 to 2023, the city would adjust the rate annually to align with growth, but by no more than 10 percent each year and total capped at 50 cents. The 2023 levy amount would become the base for later years. The EMS levy rate is currently 39 cents per $1000 of assessed value, 11 cents lower than the rate voters approved in 2008. Since that time, the number of medical incident responses by the Marysville Fire District has increased by 36 percent. For more information, visit www.marysvillewa.gov/EMSlevy.
