In looking at Selah’s proposal, the collection rate is projected at $1.55 per $1,000 in assessed valuation.  The levy rate is set as a total dollar amount to be collected.  That amount is divided among all taxable property owners in Selah.  In order to help homeowners plan for how much they will pay, a projected rate is provided.  The rate may change because of valuation set by the Yakima County Assessor.
