Puyallup SD Bond

Has anyone been looking at this latest bond the Puyallup SD is asking for?

It’s what’s commonly known as a replacement bond, meaning the previous bond is falling off, so this next one would replace it (for the next 20 years or so). That means taxes shouldn’t go up.

However, the most recent levy passed last year, which WILL raise your taxes and won’t show up on your tax bill until late February. I just called the assessors office to confirm that it’s not currently reflected on the website. It will only show up late February after the election.

Assessed values have also gone up for 2025. I’m looking for perspectives on this.

I’m very supportive of education and realize the buildings need updating periodically. But I’m wondering if this time around they’ve gone too big.

Until the bill comes in February I’m guessing my property taxes are going up 4-500 for 2025 because of that last levy.

Thoughts?
