Spokane Valley properties fall within multiple overlapping taxing districts. Spokane County currently has 55 taxing districts creating 179 tax code areas. As an incorporated city, Spokane Valley is one of the 13 city and town districts. Properties in Spokane Valley also fall within school districts, fire districts, library districts, and park districts, each with their own levy rates set through annual public hearings.
Because district boundaries overlap in different ways across the city, two properties with the same assessed value can pay different tax amounts depending on which specific combination of districts they fall within. This is clearly explained in the Spokane County Tax District Data and Levies History page at spokanecounty.gov/223. The County levy, Conservation Futures levy, and State School levy apply uniformly across all 179 tax code areas.
