Buckle Up, Buttercup: It's a Time Travel Trip!
Now, you might be wondering, "Why are we talking about 2023 in the inflation-riddled wasteland of 2024?" Well, grab your flux capacitor, because the IPD we care about applies to property taxes due in 2024. It's a handy little timey-wimey thing.
So, What Was the Inflation Rate (IPD) for Washington in 2023?
Drumroll please... The IPD for Washington State in 2023 was 3.7%. That means, on average, prices went up by a smidge over 3.7% compared to the year before. Not the worst inflation monster we've faced, but enough to make your morning coffee feel a tad pricier.
But wait, there's more! This little number affects property taxes you'll pay in 2024.

Still Confused? Don't Worry, We've Got You Covered
Here's the gist: The IPD helps determine how much your property taxes can increase year-over-year. It's like a built-in inflation buffer, so your tax bill doesn't skyrocket just because the cost of everything else has.
Think of it this way: If the price of your house goes up because everyone wants a waterfront view (because, let's face it, Washington has the best views!), your taxes will reflect that. But the IPD makes sure that everyday inflation doesn't pile on an extra layer of ouch.
