King County Levy Rates and Districts |
|
Abstract
This map set displays property tax levy code boundaries
and levy rate information for King County.
Property
tax levy totals are calculated according to the state constitution,
statutory levy limits set by the legislature, and excess levies approved by the
voters. The total tax rate on your property results from: a) dividing the
dollar amount required for a taxing district in which your property is located
by the total value of property within the district, and b) adding up the rates
of all of the various districts in which your property is located. This
combined rate, multiplied by the assessed value of your property, produces a
tax amount which is your fair share of the total property tax levy in your
area.
The distinct, bounded areas in this map set represent
levy codes. They are shaded according to the levy rate that is associated with
each code-darker colors represent higher rates. You can use iMAP's "Identify"
tool to click on the map and find out the component parts of the total levy
rate for that location on the map. You can see a further breakdown of the rate,
and access additional resources related to tax levies and property taxes, by
clicking on the levy code link that appears below the map when you use the
"Identify" tool.

Noxious Weed Locations |
|
Abstract
This map set displays
information about noxious
weed locations as determined by the 2005 Noxious Weed Survey. The
survey is conducted annually by the
Noxious Weed Control Program in the Water
& Land Resources Division.
For this map set, noxious weeds are very loosely
classified by color into four habitat categories:
-
Aquatic-blue
-
Urban/Park-green
-
Open Space-red
-
Pasture-orange
Users can display
the noxious weed information in two ways:
-
Display
only the four most widespread noxious weeds: Giant Hogweed, Purple Loosestrife,
Spotted Knapweed, and Tansy Ragwort.
-
Display all of the more than
forty noxious weed species found in the survey. With this option, users may
view all of the weed symbols in the standard iMAP legend frame, or launch a
separate floating legend window (by clicking on the"All Noxious Weeds" layer
name in the iMAP interface).
Possible Uses:
-
Find out how
many noxious weed locations were surveyed in your city or near your favorite
natural feature, such as a wetland, lake, or stream.
-
Learn about
individual weed species: use iMAP's "Identify" tool to click on a weed symbol
on the map, and then click on the corresponding species link when it appears
below the map.

Sensitive Areas |
|
Abstract
This map set includes DDES*
map layers that may indicate the presence of environmental factors that could
affect the desired or permitted use or development of land parcels in
unincorporated King County (see Sensitive
Areas Criteria). The original data represented by the map layers in
this set resulted from work done in 1991 as part of the Sensitive Areas
Ordinance, and the layers are updated periodically according to
King County Code section 21A.24. In addition, this map set contains
several layers important for the Critical
Areas Ordinance (CAO). These include not only the CAO layers
themselves, but also the Critical Aquifer Recharge Areas layer and the
2005 Surface Water Design Manual (SWDM) layers.
Possible Uses
This map set should be used for only general reviews of property
characteristics. Even if the map set shows no sensitive areas coincident with a
particular property, you should contact DDES*
prior to making decisions about the potential use or development of a property.

Un-mapped Projects Report) are those inputted into the WRIA 9 project
database by both King County and local jurisdictions and partners. This
database and map set assists managers by informing them about current efforts
in WRIA 9, and may be used to identify future habitat acquisition and
restoration project needs.
Possible Uses
-
Locate the approximate location of current salmon habitat
restoration and protection projects within WRIA 9
-
