Field notes
Readers can switch among $350,000, $500,000, and $750,000 assessed values to see the estimated Port levy and how the page allocates it across debt, cleanup, and agency operations. The allocation is explicitly the author’s proportional estimate, not a Port-published household bill; the page also traces figures across 2016–2026 and links its claims to budget documents and county tax-levy material.
