Lower property taxes for service nonprofits

The law exempts property taxes on land, buildings, and equipment owned by nonprofits that are nonsectarian and provide social services. It covers services that are character-building, benevolent, protective, or rehabilitative. The property is exempt when the nonprofit loans, leases, or rents it to a federal, state, local, or tribal government, or another nonprofit, to provide those services. Sales of donated goods on the site count as an exempt use if the money goes to the nonprofit’s mission. This applies to taxes levied for collection in 2026 and later. Two state tax-preference rules (RCW 82.32.805 and 82.32.808) do not apply to this law.
