Will annexation mean higher property taxes or fees?

No. Local property and sales tax rates are largely uniform across the Gig Harbor Peninsula. Annexation usually results in lower property taxes because the city levy is generally less than the County-specific road levy. However, utility costs are slightly higher in the City due to a municipal tax of 5%.
