Washington's UST fees will increase on July 1, 2018, from $166.99 to $173.80 per tank. This fee increase will offset escalating program costs.

The fiscal growth factor was used to determine the amount of fee increase. The fiscal growth factor is approved by the Washington state expenditure limit committee. The factor is calculated using the average growth in state personal income for the previous ten fiscal years.

More information on the UST fee increase can be found on the Washington department of ecology's UST program web page http://www.ecy.wa.gov/programs/tcp/ust-lust/tanks.html.
