Why it matters

A utility tax rate change is a citywide household-cost decision: it would amend the municipal code provisions governing utility tax rates, which affect bills residents and businesses pay. The agenda packet supplied here does not include the proposed rate amounts, which utilities would be covered, or the ordinance number, so residents cannot yet see from this record how large the change would be or who it would affect most ¹.

What changed / what's next

• A proposed ordinance amending Title 3 of the Marysville Municipal Code regarding utility tax rates has been placed on the City Council agenda for consideration on October 26, 2026 ¹.
• The City Council's consideration of the utility tax rate ordinance at its October 26, 2026 meeting ¹.
• The supplied agenda excerpt does not include the proposed rate figures, the utilities covered, the ordinance number, or any supporting staff report, so the actual size and scope of the change remain unknown until those materials or the meeting itself provide them.
