TAXES & CITY FINANCES

The City of Lacey collects revenues in the form of taxes to provide services to the community. Property tax and sales tax are the primary income sources for the city's General Fund, used to provide these basic services to the community. Other sources of revenue for the city include Business and Occupation (B&O) Tax, specific business activity taxes such as the utility tax, gambling tax, and admissions tax and other fees for services.

Business and Occupation (B&O) tax is collected either quarterly or annually. The amount due is based on the businesses’ gross income less certain deductions for that period. See Tax Rates on the pamphlet, New Business Registration .

Any person, firm, or corporation conducting business within the City of Lacey is required to collect Washington State sales tax and remit the same to the State of Washington Department of Revenue.
