This is in response to your inquiry as to property taxes and services within the City of Yelm.
According to the Statistical Report of 2003 Assessments for Taxes Payable in 2004 published by the Thurston County Assessor’s Office, the tax rate for property within the City of Yelm
for 2004 was $13.9790 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. The tax rate for property in Sunnyland Estates (Thurston County) was $14.2980 per $1,000 of assessed valuation.
For property valued at $200,000, the 2004 property taxes would be $2,795.80 in the City and $2,859.60 in the County.
Among the many services that the City provides are 24 hour police protection and animal control.
