Contact the Marysville Public Works Department at (360) 363-8100, or use the Report Streetlight Problem form. 

To ensure an accurate and timely response when reporting a streetlight that is out of service or is staying on permanently, please have the following information at hand:

• The nearest address where the streetlight pole is located; or
• The streetlight pole number, which is located on a metal plate that faces the street approximately 6 feet up on the pole. 

Streetlights are maintained by Snohomish County PUD, and are usually fixed within two or three weeks of the problem being reported, depending upon crew availability in the area. We appreciate your help in finding lights that are out or are malfunctioning.

Eliminate and check the easy and obvious locations first.

• Check your water meter. Is the dial on the meter moving? It may require 5 to 10 minutes to determine.
• Check your toilet. Is the water overflowing the drain? Is the flapper valve fully closed? Put dye tablet or food coloring in toilet tank to see if the color goes into the toilet bowl.
• Check all faucets and fixtures for leaks, check under the house for leaks, and check the location where the pipe enters from the meter.
• Listen to your faucets or fixtures. Water rushing through a hole will create a faint noise. In hard-to-reach areas, place the end of a metal rod on the faucet and the other end to your ear.
• Check ground for excess moisture. Are there any unusual wet spots in areas of the water lines? Is the grass greener around the areas of the water lines? The ground will be wetter or saturated in the area of a leak.
• Isolate sections of your pipe by turning off valve(s) to branch lines or the main line. Locate shutoff valve(s). Turn on faucet after the main line valve to insure the valve works. Install isolation valves on branch lines.
• Contact the City of Marysville Public Works at (360) 363-8100 for assistance, if needed.
• Contact your plumber to see if they offer leak checking.
• After repair of the leak, contact the City of Marysville Utility Billing Department at 360-363-8001 to report that the leak has been repaired. You may also request a leak adjustment on your utility bill.

Download the City zoning map to look up the designation for your property.

The only way to know for sure where your property lines are is through a survey. Surveys are performed by licensed professional surveyors. The City has GIS maps that give you an idea of the location of your property lines, but they should not be used to determine setbacks as they may not be completely accurate.

If a survey has already been conducted for your property or you are part of a subdivision, you can search on the Snohomish County Auditor's records.

A home occupation business is a business that operates out of a residential address within Marysville city limits.  Even if you do not sell a product from your home or do not have any customers visits, you are still considered a home occupation business.

Contacting customers by phone or conducting bookkeeping work from the home is also considered a home occupation business. (For example, contractors, subcontractors, plumbers or electricians who go to the job site to perform work, but whose office is at home.)

Learn more on our Occupation Business License page.

If you have questions about home occupations, please contact Carol Mulligan, Business License Specialist, at (360) 363-8202 or at CMulligan@marysvillewa.gov.

Feel free to reach out to MSVLPermits@marysvillewa.gov should you have questions or need assistance.

Once the final subdivision has been submitted for review, building permit applications may be applied for to start construction of model homes. Each preliminary subdivision may permit up to (9) model homes. To apply for model homes, compliance with the following is required:

•  A hard-surfaced roadway to and abutting all model homes shall be constructed to standards determined by the city engineer or designee
• Operational fire hydrant(s) must be available in accordance with the International Fire Code
• Submittal of a site plan, stamped by a registered civil engineer or licensed surveyor, delineating the location of each structure relative to existing and proposed utilities, lot lines, easements, roadways, topography and critical areas  
• Approval of water, sewer and storm sewer extension plans to serve the proposed structures 
• Execution of an agreement with the city saving and holding it harmless from any damages, direct or indirect, as a result of the approval of the construction of model homes on the site 

If the above items have been demonstrated, residential building permits for each model home may be submitted.

NOTE: No model home may be granted Certificate of Occupancy until the final subdivision has been approved by the City and recorded with the Snohomish County Auditor.

For a list of all work exempt from requiring a building permit, please review the exempted work handout.

Once the project has completed the 1^st round of technical civil construction plan review, building permits may be applied for. The reasoning for this is to limit unnecessary and additional reviews of the building plans if there happen to be significant changes required to the civil construction plans. 

Submitting for building permits once the civil plan review is farther along, will increase the likelihood of a streamline and expedited building permit review process.

For most development projects within the City, staff requires the applicant to submit a request for a pre-application. This process allows all applicable staff and agencies to review the proposal before too much time and money is invested.

Lots of love! Your children need to know that you support them no matter the outcome of their performance or the final score of the game, and to see good sportsmanship and appropriate behavior on the sidelines. Ask your coach how you can follow through with the skills taught during practice at home, without the pressure of performance. Remember: this is a skills development program, not a pre-curser to college scholarships. "Child first, athlete second".

When the current Public Safety Building was built in 1986, the Marysville Police Department had 24 employees.  30 years later, our city population is more than seven times larger.  The Police Department has expanded to serve our growing city and has outgrown the current facility.

A growing community plus the city's commitment to hire more police officers in the years ahead equals the need for a larger facility to serve Marysville today and into the future.

Marysville is one of only two Snohomish County cities with its own jail. This is an important component of the city's crime-reducing strategies.

In most nearby cities, people who commit misdemeanor crimes that harm a community's quality of life are given a ticket and a court date and released back into the community.  These types of crimes include theft, vandalism, vehicle prowl, possession of drug paraphernalia, trespassing, reckless driving and DUI.

In Marysville, officers arrest these offenders and book them into our jail, meaning immediate consequences for offenders and increased protection for the Marysville community.

The county jail is primarily responsible for housing people on more serious felony charges and has its own guidelines for which inmates they will accept.  Suspects in felony cases are housed at the county jail, but most often suspects in misdemeanor cases are not accepted there.

The ability for our Police officers to book suspects into jail here also saves hours of staff time transporting them to Everett and going through the booking process there.  This means officers can return to service more quickly.

If voters approve, the Criminal Justice Tax ballot measure will raise retail sales tax by one-tenth of one percent, or an additional 10 cents on a $100 purchase.  The new sales tax rate of 9.2% is still lower than many Snohomish County cities.  And because sales tax is paid by both residents and visitors, the cost is shared by a wider audience than property owners alone.

This could provide for $800,000 in annual revenues, about 70% of the estimated annual debt payment for a 30-year bond on a new Police Services Building.  The remaining 30% of the annual debt payment would come from the city's General Fund.

The City Council has not increased the Marysville property tax rate since 2001.  Increases in your property tax are generally associated with increased property values and/or raises in other taxes.  

This proposal is for a small retail sales tax increase.  The city budget and all city spending are available for public review 24/7 on the Open Books portal of the city website.  We value transparency and believe you have the right to know how your tax dollars are spent.  Visit www.marysvillewa.gov/123/Finance. 

A Regional Fire Authority (RFA) is a special purpose district, similar to a school district, with independent taxing authority that provides fire and emergency medical services. Formation of an RFA is authorized by state law and created by a vote of the people in the proposed service area.

Fire and emergency medical services are some of the most important services we provide. These services have been delivered under a joint operating agreement through the Marysville Fire District (MFD) for more than 25 years. Since that time, Marysville has grown four times larger in size and the population is more than five times greater.

Key considerations in proposing an RFA include:

• Population growth is driving increased demand: calls for service have grown nearly 50% since 2011.
• Service needs are changing: calls for service have grown, straining our ability to serve aging and vulnerable populations. 
• The current financial model isn't sustainable: expenses are greater than revenues with the MFD projected to carry a $2.5 million gap in funding for 2019. MFD will need to dip into reserves to operate, as it has done for several years.
• The governance structure isn't representative: although 80% of residents live within city limits, city representation on the Marysville Fire District board is only 60%.

An RFA will meet increased demand and changing needs for services, while creating a sustainable funding model for the future.

If an RFA is approved by voters, the service area will stay the same, and firefighters and other staff from the Marysville Fire District (MFD) will become employees of the RFA. All equipment (fire engines, ambulances, furniture, etc.) will be transferred to the new RFA at no cost.  Service efficiencies are expected under an RFA and the governance structure will change to a more representative model.

Service areas will not change under the RFA. The RFA will cover the same area as the current Marysville Fire District, which provides fire and emergency medical services within the Marysville city limits and Fire District 12, including the areas of Lake Stevens, Lakewood, portions of the Tulalip Reservation and unincorporated Snohomish County. The RFA will allow for possible future expansion into neighboring districts.

Fire and emergency medical services through the Marysville Fire District are currently funded by a property tax levy in Fire District 12 and out of the general fund in the City of Marysville. An RFA will create a single funding source, with money collected through taxes going directly to the RFA instead of passing through other jurisdictions. 

Funding under an RFA is a key difference from the current structure.

If the RFA is approved, the levy would go into effect in 2020. All residents will pay an RFA levy rate of $1.45 per $1,000 assessed value - this is approximately $435 on a $300,000 home. 

For Marysville residents, the RFA will change the way they pay for fire services. Currently, the City of Marysville funds fire services out of its general fund, which is supported by property taxes as well as other revenue such as sales tax. City property taxes also pay for other essential city services including law enforcement, streets and more. 

If voters approve an RFA, all residents (both in and outside city limits) will pay $1.45 per $1,000 of assessed value directly to the RFA for fire and emergency services. This is approximately $435 annually on a $300,000 home. The city will also continue to collect other property taxes, at a reduced rate to help offset taxpayer impacts of the RFA levy, to support other city services including law enforcement, streets and more. The total property tax increase for the owner of a $300,000 home is approximately $20.75/month or $249/year. 

For Fire District 12 residents, the existing $1.02 per $1,000 of assessed value Fire District Fire Levy will be replaced by a new $1.45 per $1,000 of assessed value RFA levy. The difference for the owner of a $300,00 home is approximately $10.75 per month or $129 per year. Fire District 12 residents have not been asked for a property tax increase to pay for fire services in more than a decade.

City residents will pay a rate of $1.45 per $1,000 assessed value directly to the RFA for fire protection and emergency services, exactly the same rate as Fire District 12 residents will pay. The main difference is that the fire district property tax pays exclusively for fire services, while the current city property tax pay not only for fire services but also for other essential city services including law enforcement, roads, etc. The city will continue to collect other property taxes, at a reduced rate to help offset taxpayer impacts of the RFA levy, to support other city services. This results in a total property tax increase to city residents of $20.75/month or $249/year for the owner of a $300,000 home. 

The RFA model has been adopted by many communities over the last decade. There are currently 12 RFAs in Washington state, almost all in western Washington.

The Marysville City Council and Fire District 12 Board of Commissioners voted unanimously in February 2019 to propose an RFA to the voters on the April 2019 ballot. Therefore, Marysville and Fire District 12 voters will decide the future of their fire services. If approved, the RFA becomes effective Oct. 1, 2019 and tax collection begins in 2020. Education about the RFA is being undertaken prior to the election to ensure voters have needed information.

To learn more about the proposed RFA, visit www.marysvillewa.gov/rfa or contact us at: Fire@mfdrfa.org.

Since there are four different Tax Code Areas (TCA) that overlap the CIC Zone within the City of Marysville, the realized savings will differ.

All rates are expressed in dollars per thousand dollars of assessed value for the 2019 tax year.

TCA 00508: 7.092107221 of savings

TCA 00509: 7.366485104 of savings

TCA 00511: 6.573942603 of savings

TCA 00514: 6.947786762 of savings

As of 2019 all TCA's will have the same tax rate of 2.565086703 per thousand dollars of assessed value for State Property Taxes.

MMC: 3.104.010: It is the purpose of this chapter to encourage new manufacturing and industrial uses on undeveloped and underutilized lands zoned for industrial and manufacturing uses in the area identified in this chapter. (Ord. 3020 § 2 (Exh. A), 2016).

RCW 84.25.040 does not mention or provide any provision for existing structures or facilities.  RCW 84.25.040 1) (a) The value of new construction of industrial/manufacturing facilities qualifying under this chapter is exempt from property taxation under this title.

Yes, with stipulations;

MMC: 3.104.020 Adoption by reference. Chapter 84.25 RCW as currently enacted or subsequently amended is hereby adopted by reference. (Ord. 3020 § 2 (Exh. A), 2016).

RCW 84.25.130 (1) If the value of improvements have been exempted under this chapter, the improvements continue to be exempted for the applicable period under this chapter so long as they are not converted to another use and continue to satisfy all applicable conditions.

The term "sex offender" refers to any person, juvenile, or an adult, who is convicted of specific offenses that include, but are not limited to: rape, rape of a child, child molestation, sexual misconduct with a minor, indecent liberties (with or without forcible compulsion), sexual violation of human remains, incest, communication with a minor for immoral purposes (both felony and gross misdemeanor).

A person can also be listed as a sex offender if they are convicted of a felony with a finding of sexual motivation, or a federal out-of-state conviction that, under Washington State Law, would be classified as a felony sex offense. For more information, please read RCW 9A.44, 9A.64.020, 9.68A.090, 9.94A.127, and 13.40.135.

Any adult or juvenile who has been convicted of any sex offense (listed above) after February 28, 1990 (the date listed in the Community Protection Act of 1990), or who is on active supervision for a sex offense (probation or parole, now called community custody), or who has been committed as a sexually violent predator, as defined in RCW 71.09. For more information, please visit http://apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx 

The duration of a sex offender’s duty to register is based up on the original offense, not the level they are classified as:

• Class A Felony: May stop registering only upon the petition of the superior court.
• Class B Felony: Fifteen years from the last date of release from confinement or entry of the judgment and sentence; if the person has spent 15 consecutive years in the community without being convicted of any new offenses. If an offender satisfies these requirements, they shall be relieved of their duty to register by the sheriff’s office in the county of their residence.
• Class C Felony: Ten years from the last date of release from confinement or entry of the judgment and sentence; if the person has spent 10 consecutive years in the community without being convicted of any new offenses. Again, if an offender satisfies these requirements, they shall be relieved of their duty to register by the sheriff’s office in the county of their residence.
• Petition of Court: Any person having the duty to register, or an offender having the duty to register for a sex offense when the offender was a juvenile, may petition the superior court to be relieved of that duty. If an offender is granted permission to be relieved of their duty to register by a superior court judge, they will no longer have to comply with the sex offender registration requirements of the State of Washington.

One of three risk levels is assigned to a sex offender based on the potential risk to re-offend. Specific factors are taken into consideration when determining the risk level of a sex offender; some of which are past criminal history, conviction data, and psychological behavioral evaluations. The leveling of a sex offender is merely a guide to the risk of re-offense; there is no way to know the future actions of any individual, including those convicted of a sex offense:

• Level I: Considered a low risk to re-offend.
• Level II: Considered a moderate risk to re-offend.
• Level III: Considered a high risk to re-offend.

This Department releases sex offender information pursuant to RCW 4.24.550 which authorizes law enforcement to release information to the public regarding sex offenders when the agency determines that disclosure of information is relevant and necessary to protect the public and to counteract the danger created by the particular offender. The content of the information made available, as well as where and how the information is disseminated, is restricted to the standards set forth in Chapter 4.24 and by the Washington State Supreme Court ruling in State v. Ward, 123 WA 2d 488 (1994.)

The individuals who appear on the Snohomish County/Marysville Police websites have been convicted of a sex offense that requires registration with the Sheriff’s Office in the county of their residence. Furthermore, previous criminal history places them in a classification level that reflects the potential to re-offend.

These sex offenders have served the sentence imposed on them by the courts and have advised the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office that they will be living in the location listed with their information.

The Marysville Police Department has no legal authority to direct where a sex offender may or may not live. Unless court ordered restrictions exist, these offenders are constitutionally free to live wherever they choose.

Sex offenders have always lived in our communities; prior to the passage of the Community Protection Act of 1990 (which mandates sex offender registration) law enforcement officials did not know where offenders were living. Citizens should refrain from threatening, intimidating, or harassing registered sex offenders. Such abuse could potentially end law enforcement’s ability to notify the community. Persons who engage in this behavior not only threaten to take away this tool, but could face criminal charges based on their actions and intent.

The Marysville Police Department has no legal authority to direct where sex offenders may or may not live. Currently in Washington State, there is no law or statute regarding where sex offenders may or may not reside; unless court-ordered restrictions exist, the offender is constitutionally free to live wherever they choose.

If a sex offender is on active probation through the Washington State Department of Corrections, they can have restrictions on where they live and where they can go (such as parks, malls, etc.) and who they can have contact with, i.e. minors; however those restrictions are lifted once the sex offender has completed his community custody. For more information about sex offenders and probation please visit the Department of Corrections website at http://www.doc.wa.gov/corrections/.

The Marysville Police Department conducts checks on registered sex offenders, however, the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office is the authorized authority, and you can get additional information from their web page: https://snohomishcountywa.gov/302/Registered-Sex-Offenders.

You can also contact the Washington State Department of Corrections Special Needs Unit at (360) 571-4300. Request to speak with a supervisor on duty regarding sex offenders that are on active community custody.

Our Use of Force Policy dictates when situations are reasonably stabilized, application of force must proportionally de-escalate or cease, in accordance with the subject actions, when control is gained, or the threat is removed.

The Department’s use of force model is designed to proportionally align officer actions with subject actions.  This model also allows for escalation, stabilization, and de-escalation as the subject’s actions change.

A hold around the neck, that is designed to restrict airflow, commonly called “chokehold” or “stranglehold” is not a defensive tactic that is used nor part of our training program.

A carotid control hold is different in that it does not restrict airflow.  Officers are trained and certified on an annual basis on this technique and it may only be applied in specific situations.

Officers are trained to repetitively give verbal commands/warnings, when practical, when a force response may be required.  This is the case for not only deadly force encounters, but also prior to other uses of force, such as the activation of a Taser or deployment of a K9.

Our use of force policy is very direct that officers will use only that amount of force that is reasonable and necessary to effect the lawful purpose intended.  Officers must apply an immediate risk assessment in order to determine the timing of force and which tools and tactics to employ.

All force applications shall be in conformity with the statutes and Constitutions of the United States and the State of Washington.

Yes.

Officers are required to complete a Use of Force Report every time force is required during a lawful action.  The department utilizes a comprehensive computer tracking program that acts as a clearinghouse for department data relating to use of force incidents and pursuits.  This affords us the ability to conduct thorough review of all use of force applications to ensure compliance with policy. This system also acts as an early warning/intervention tool for administrative purposes.

Our current policy does include a force continuum.  In January of 2020 our department began a partnership with a nationally recognized policy and training development team, with the intention of conducting a complete review and edit of all department policies, including use of force.  It is expected this policy transition will include updates to our Use of Force Policy that should be completed in the very near future.

Every officer-involved force response requires the event be documented on a department Use of Force Form. This is the case regardless of the outcome of the force event. Even if the subject sustains no injury, the event is documented. In the event of death being the result of officer response, a Use of Force Form would still be completed. This situation, however, would also trigger a death investigation conducted by the Snohomish County Multi-Agency Response Team (SMART), an investigative team comprised of members of outside police agencies. No member of the Marysville Police Department would be part of this independent investigation. The documentation of a force event is very comprehensive in nature, requiring great detail in describing the event and any factors that were present at the time force was used.

While it is not specifically stated as asked in this question verbatim in current department policy that an officer must intervene to stop excessive force, department policy does include provisions that speak to the treatment of the public during the course of official duties. It is certainly the expectation of the department that officers would intervene in the described situation. That said, our Force Response policy update that is currently under development does address this situation, outlining an officer’s “duty to intercede” in the event they are witnessing excessive force. This also includes the requirement to report their observations both verbally and written.

Policy relating to the shooting of moving vehicles by officers is also under development, having been drafted and in the process of being adopted. The policy speaks to the inherent danger of shooting at moving vehicles and recommends avoiding taking this action, but it does not outright ban officers from doing so.

Someone from our team will drop by your business during non-peak hours. We’ll ask about your business practices and take a look at outdoor spaces and how materials are stored on-site. Based on what we see, we’ll suggest easy changes that your business can make to prevent pollution and provide educational materials.

Our team visits businesses about once every five years. We visit businesses that are likely to use or store chemicals. 

Our team will work with your business to identify any issues that need to be fixed and recommend solutions. Our focus is on providing technical assistance. 

If a business declines to address issues after multiple engagements, the city could pursue remedies under MMC 4.02.040.

Every business has a different stormwater system. Some systems simply drain stormwater. Others hold water and release it slowly. Some help filter pollutants. Your system could include: catch basins, stormwater vaults, stormwater ponds, bioswales, and oil-water separators. 

Your business is responsible for maintaining your stormwater system. Inspect and maintain your system regularly to prevent seasonal flooding and avoid expensive clean-ups.

The program’s goal is to stop pollution from entering the stormwater system. Many common business activities have the potential to cause pollution, but simple measures can prevent spills. Keeping pollution out of the stormwater system protects our local waterways and Puget Sound.

Marysville began inspecting businesses in 2023 as part of compliance with the city’s NPDES Phase II permit.

Report spills to our 24/7 spill hotline at 360-363-8100. Use your spill kit to clean up small spills and block larger spills from entering catch basins. If pollution enters the storm drain, you may need to hire a company with specialized equipment to clean it up.

Preventing spills is best. Create a spill plan to identify materials that need proper storage and activities that could cause pollution. Follow best practices to prevent pollution, like keeping dumpster lids closed and using a commercial car wash.
