    Property Taxes 101
    Spring doesn’t always bring positive news and a sense of hope - it’s also tax season. You have probably just
    received your property tax statement in the mail. Did you notice the City of Bothell only receives a small
    portion of your entire tax bill, about 18-20% depending on which county you live in? The rest of your payment
    goes to the school district, King or Snohomish County, other state agencies, and other taxing districts.   

    Are there any new City taxes in 2020?
    Bothell property owners will see one new tax in 2020; the first payments on our 2018 voter-approved capital
    bond to rebuild two fire stations. Bothell property owners did not make bond payments in 2019 because design
    and construction are not scheduled to begin until winter and spring of 2020. You can track the design and
    construction progress at bothellwa.gov/safebothell.  

    Tax Relief Programs
    If you, or someone you know, is a senior citizen, disabled, or has a fixed or limited income there are several
    programs available to help you reduce the amount of property taxes you owe. This year, the income thresholds
    and residency requirements for the Senior Citizen/Disabled Persons Property Tax Exemption Program have
    changed, so be sure to check if you qualify. Learn more at:

    Bring Your Own Bag to Bothell
    Single-use plastic carryout bags will be restricted in Bothell starting on April
    22, 2020, the 50th anniversary of Earth Day. Like many surrounding cities, this
    ordinance means that plastic bags will no longer be given out at checkout.
    Businesses can provide recycled-content paper bags or reusable bags to
    customers. A minimum 10-cent fee, kept by the business, will be charged for
    paper bags. Customers using vouchers or electronic benefits cards under
    food assistance programs are exempt from paying the charge.

    Why is Bothell restricting single-use plastic
    carryout bags?
    To improve recycling
    Plastic bags are no longer accepted in curbside recycling. Plastic
    bags get tangled in sorting machinery and contaminate other
    types of recyclables. Instead, find a drop-off location to recycle
    your plastic bags and film at plasticfilmrecycling.org.

    To decrease litter
    Plastic bags increase litter in our parks and open spaces.

    To protect the environment
    Plastics never fully degrade, breaking down into
    smaller and smaller pieces but remaining in our soil and
    waterways. Even in our landfill, it takes up to 1000 years
    for plastic bags to break down.

     May is Puget Sound Starts Here Month
     Puget Sound needs your help
     City of Bothell is working with hundreds of organizations across Puget Sound
     to protect water quality. During this May’s Puget Sound Starts Here Month we
     challenge you to do at least one action that helps keep Puget Sound healthy.
                                            A few ideas to try:
                                            • Take care of your yard naturally by using compost and mulch
                                            • Use native plants and trees to soak up rainwater and limit runoff
                                            • Fix auto leaks right away so you don’t drip and drive
                                            • Use a commercial car wash or wash your vehicle over grass or gravel
                                            • Pick up your pet’s waste and put it in the garbage
                                            • Take your hazardous materials to the Wastemobile (see page 9 for details)
                                            • Make sure your septic system is in good working order

     About Puget Sound Starts Here

SUSTAINABILITY
The Scoop on Dog Poop
If you’re a dog owner, you probably already know about Bothell’s scooping law (BMC 6.16.011). But do you
know what to do with pet waste after you scoop it?

                        Compost it? NOPE. Residential compost piles don’t get hot enough to kill the
                        harmful organisms found in dog poop. Your organics bin is also no place for pet waste.
                        Commercial composting facilities don’t want pet waste because it contaminates their
                        compost.

Bury it? NOPE. Burying dog poop allows pathogens and excess nutrients into local
streams, and it lets long-lasting bacteria and parasites establish themselves in soils. Some dog
owners use in-ground digesters, which are basically like doggie septic systems, but many of
them have been known to malfunction frequently.

                         Scoop it, bag it, and trash it? YES, YES, AND YES! Landfills are designed to
                         keep pet waste contained, monitored, and out of our streams. Choose bags with lots of
                         recycled content over biodegradable bags. “Biodegradable” bags need oxygen in order to
                         degrade, so they’re often unable to break down when trapped in the compacted layers
                         in a landfill.

Why does scooping matter? Dog poop is full of harmful bacteria that can make
people, pets, and wildlife very sick. When it rains, bacteria from dog poop washes into
storm drains where it is then carried directly to the nearest stream, polluting the water.
Leaving dog poop in the grass offers a place for bacteria and parasites to thrive, some for
months and some for up to four years!
