b. If the property tax exemption is canceled for non-compliance, Applicant
acknowledges that state law requires that an additional real property tax is to be
imposed in the amount of: [a} the difference between the property tax paid and the
property tax that would have been paid if it had included the value of the
Multi-Family Housing Property Tax Exemption Agreement
Parkside at 95 Burnett—p. 4
nonqualifying improvements, dated back to the date that the improvements became
nonqualifying; [b] a penalty of 20% of the difference calculated under paragraph (a)
of this paragraph 8; [c] interest at the statutory rate on delinquent property taxes and
penalties, calculated from the date the tax would have been due without penalty if
the improvements had been assessed without regard to the exemptions provided by
Chapter 84.14 RCW and RMC 4-1-220. Applicant acknowledges that, pursuant to
RCW 84.14.110, any additional tax owed, together with interest and penalty, become
a lien on the Property and attach at the time the Property or portion of the Property is
removed from multi-family housing use, and that the lien has priority to and must be
fully paid and satisfied before a recognizance, mortgage, judgment, debt, obligation,
or responsibility to or with which the Property may become charged or liable.
Applicant further acknowledges that RCW 84.14.110 provides that any such lien may
be foreclosed in the manner provided by law for foreclosure of liens for delinquent
real property taxes.
c. Upon determining that a tax exemption is to be canceled, the
Administrator shall notify the property owner by certified mail, return receipt
requested. The property owner may appeal the determination in accordance with
RMC 4-1-220L2.

No modification of this Agreement shall be made unless mutually agreed upon
by the parties in writing and unless in compliance with the provisions of RMC 4-1-

assigns, and subsidiaries.
