Marysville City Council to weigh 2027 property tax levy with no increase proposed
The City Council's October 12 agenda includes a public hearing on an ordinance setting the 2027 regular property tax levy for property within Marysville city limits; the proposal calls for no increase, and action is requested at the November 9 meeting 1.
What the records say
The Marysville City Council's October 12, 2026 agenda lists, under Public Hearing, an ordinance that would set the regular property tax levy for all real, personal, and utility property subject to taxation within the corporate limits of the City of Marysville for the year 2027 1. The ordinance summary states the city is not increasing the regular property tax levy, describing a 0% increase and listing the city's actual 2026 regular property tax levy as $12,284,114.08; it adds that the action is exclusive of revenue made available from new construction, state-assessed utilities, and refund levies 1. The agenda says action on the item will be requested at the November 9, 2026 City Council meeting, so no vote is scheduled for October 12 1.
- The October 12, 2026 agenda lists, under Public Hearing, an ordinance setting the 2027 regular property tax levy for all real, personal, and utility property subject to taxation within the corporate limits of the City of Marysville 1.
- The ordinance proposes no increase to the regular property tax levy — a stated 0% increase — and lists the city's actual 2026 regular property tax levy as $12,284,114.08, exclusive of revenue from new construction, state-assessed utilities, and refund levies 1.
- Action on the levy item is requested at the November 9, 2026 City Council meeting, not on October 12 1.
Why it matters
The regular property tax levy is the city's tax on taxable real, personal, and utility property inside Marysville's city limits, so this item concerns what the city collects from local property owners for 2027 1. The agenda proposes holding the base levy flat rather than raising it, and because the 0% increase excludes new construction and state-assessed utilities, total collections could still differ from the base figure 1. No vote is scheduled until November 9, and the item appears on the October 12 agenda as a public hearing, so residents can still follow it before the requested action date 1.
What changed / what's next
- Action is requested at the November 9, 2026 meeting 1. The supplied agenda summary does not state a proposed 2027 levy dollar amount beyond the 0% increase and the 2026 figure of $12,284,114.08 1.
- The draft ordinance states the levy would take effect five days after publication by summary if adopted 1.
