Pierce County Charter Amendment No. 56 - Four Year Budget Outlook
Unofficial result: Passed
Source: results.votewa.gov
Pierce County, Washington
My vote power: High
What does this measure do?
Pierce County would require a four-year budget forecast showing planned spending no higher than available funds. County taxpayers would pay no new tax; the county already prepares a similar forecast and expects no added cost.
Proposed by: Pierce County Charter Review Commission (2026)
The commission reviews the county charter (its basic rulebook). It finished its work June 29, 2026 and sent seven changes to voters, who must approve any charter change.

Keep current budget forecast rules without this charter requirement.
