Even though property values have risen dramatically in 2021 within the Ports district, the Levy rate for the Port district has steadily decreased each year. For example, in 2017 the Ports Levy rate was .27cents per $1000. dollars, of the assessed value of property within the ports district, in 2021 the Ports Levy rate was .21cents per $1000. dollars of the assessed value of property; and for 2022 it has decreased to .19cents per $1000.dollars of property taxes. The increase in Revenue for the Port of Hoodsport for the 2022 budget is $1,817.00 over 2021, an increase of 1.01% over the 2021 budgeted revenue.

She cited that in 2008, when the State of WA deeded the Hoodsport Trail Park to the Port of Hoodsport to become its steward, there was a stipulation in the agreement that all revenue collected from the Hoodsport Trail Park had to be reinvested into maintaining and improving the 80-acre Hoodsport Trail Park. The revenue in the Port of Hoodsport’s investment account, currently $226,000. came from trees that had to be removed due to root rot and bark beetle infestation, Currently, there is a 15-year forest management plan in place to identify and remove sick and dying trees before they become hazard trees. Commissioner Booth seconded the motion, all in favor, unanimously approved.
