OVER 61? You may be eligible for Renton’s Utility Tax Rebate Program

Keeping utility rates affordable for our residents is a key priority for us. We work hard to keep costs low, but some households may need additional support. 

The Utility Tax Rebate Program offers partial reimbursement of city utility taxes for low‑income seniors (61+) and low‑income residents with permanent disabilities. If you’ve already qualified for reduced utility rates, your rebate will automatically be processed. All other eligible participants can apply now through June 15. 

To be eligible for the rebate, you must:

• Be a property owner or registered tenant who lives within Renton city limits.  
• Be 61 years or older or considered permanently disabled by a government agency.  
• Have a household’s maximum gross income of $84,000 per year for one resident and an additional $5,000 per year for each additional resident. 
• Provide proof of payment of other utilities is required for this rebate (i.e. PSE, Xfinity, CenturyLink statements, etc.). 

If you’ve applied in the past, be sure to apply again. You must reapply each year to continue receiving the rebate.
