Kennewick’s Transportation Benefit District will implement a sales tax of 0.1% starting April 1, 2025, lasting up to 10 years. By state law, all funds raised can only be used for transportation improvements within the district keeping your sales tax dollars local. The boundaries of the TBD are identical with Kennewick City limits.
These projects will mainly focus on pavement preservation and other priority transportation improvements from Kennewick’s 20-Year Transportation System Plan and the Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program.
Kennewick’s TBD would add one cent to a $10 purchase on taxable sales in Kennewick, raising an estimated $3M per year. Anyone who pays sales tax in the City of Kennewick, residents and visitors alike, will be contributing to the TBD Fund.
