Utility Tax Rebate Program
Program Details
In 2021, Federal Way City Council created a Utility Tax Rebate program through Ordinance 21-917. The program was developed specifically for low-income residents by offering a flat reimbursement amount for various utility services. Eligible individuals can receive a rebate on gas ($20), electric ($25), water ($15), sewer ($15), garbage ($15), and telephone, cellphone, or cable ($10).
The application period opens January 1 - May 30, 2023. If you are considering applying, please see the eligibility criteria and the application for the program.
Other changes to the utility tax rebate program ordinance included:
- Expanded eligibility: Fixed-amount assistance for all ages of low-income residents in Federal Way meeting income requirements.
- Less documentation needed: Only providing one month of each utility bill with proof of payment, address, name, and utility tax amount will be required.
Federal Way City Hall is open to in-person customer service Monday – Friday 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. or you may contact us at (253) 835-2527, with questions.
