Lynnwood to keep collecting a car tab fee and utility tax, for now
LYNNWOOD — City Councilmembers didn’t ditch the city’s car tab fee or a utility tax Monday night.
They may later this year.
The Lynnwood council had teed up decisions on separate ordinances to erase the $40 vehicle license fee and 6% utility tax on Jan. 1, 2023. They opted instead to postpone action on both until Oct. 10, in order to discuss them during the broader budget-writing process.
Council President George Hurst, who made the motions to delay, said he wanted to honor the desire of some council members and the mayor’s office.
