Residents of the Port of Camas-Washougal’s district who own a home assessed at $200,000 pay about $82 in port property taxes annually. The port does not use its property tax revenue to pay for day-to-day operations. Rather, the port spends it on infrastructure and other capital projects. Other sources of port revenue include airport and marina fees, and lease agreements with industrial tenants.
