A second one-quarter of 1 percent real estate excise tax was approved Tuesday by Clallam County commissioners following a public hearing.
The tax, which applies to real estate sales, will be collected starting in 10 days.
It won’t apply to transfers by gift, inheritance, divorce or deed in lieu of foreclosure of a mortgage.
The new tax is expected to generate between $400,000 and $700,000 a year for projects listed in the county’s six-year transportation plan and 10-year capital projects plan.
The money also can used for infrastructure projects approved by the commissioners that are proposed by another government to be built an unincorporated part of the county.
It is the county’s second one-quarter of 1 percent excise tax. Another one-quarter of 1 percent excise already is in place.
