- Is a capital facility plan required before expending Growth Management Act real estate excise tax (REET) funds?
For the first quarter percent REET money, the initial language in the 1990 Growth Management Act was that these funds could be used primarily for capital projects in a capital facilities plan element for jurisdictions planning under the GMA. The 1992 revisions changed that language to solely for capital projects in a capital facilities plan element. RCW 82.46.010(2). More detailed information on the real estate excise tax is available on a separate Web page. - What must be included in a capital facilities plan element?
Each comprehensive plan prepared under the GMA must include a capital facilities plan element.
RCW 36.70A.070(3) of the GMA states the following:
A capital facilities plan element consisting of:
(a) An inventory of existing capital facilities owned by public entities, showing the locations and capacities of the capital facilities;
(b) a forecast of the future needs of such capital facilities;
(c) the proposed locations and capacities of expanded or new capital facilities;
(d) at least a six-year plan that will finance such capital facilities within projected funding capacities and clearly identifies sources of public money for such purposes; and
(e) a requirement to reassess the land use element if probable funding falls short of meeting existing needs and to ensure that the land use element, capital facilities plan element, and financing plan within the capital facilities plan element are coordinated and consistent. Park and recreation facilities shall be included in the capital facilities plan element. - What are capital facilities?
