Construction Excise Tax
Construction Excise Tax - Implementation Toolkit

A new law gives school districts the authority to impose an excise tax on construction. We've created tools to get you started, including sample resolutions you must adopt, plus a news release and sample intergovernmental agreement. 

The school board process includes three steps -- and don't forget to involve your community: 
  1. Enter into intergovernmental agreements with each local government that will be collecting the tax.

  2. Adopt, by resolution, your district's long-term facilities plan (unless you've already done this).

  3. Boards can then impose the construction excise tax through the adoption of a board resolution stating the rate of taxation.

It's important to share this process with your community -- and get their input.
