PRESS RELEASE: CLARKSTON SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. J250-185
February 6, 2023
Upon certifying the Asotin County Abstract for 2023 Taxes on January 17, 2023, an error occurred in the collection rate for the Enrichment Levy for Clarkston School District No. J250-185. While the certified levy rate of $2.62757004 per $1,000 will collect $4,261,000 as approved by the voters in the February 8, 2022 Special Election, the Assessor should have limited that rate to $2.50 per $1,000 based upon the McCleary v. State of Washington Supreme Court decision (2012). Therefore, an over-collection of property taxes will occur for the Clarkston School District No. J250-185 Enrichment Levy of $0.12757004 per $1,000 in 2023. For example: a home with an assessed value of $200,000 will overpay $25.51 ($2.12 per month) in 2023 property taxes. This levy error will be corrected starting in the 2024 tax year. The Clarkston School District No. J250-185 will have the option to refund the over-collection completely in 2024 or it may divide the refund into equal parts over the 2024, 2025 and 2026 tax years. The Assessor has implemented processes within her system to ensure that this does not occur again in the future.
