Rural Data Centers — Sales/Use Tax Exemption

Washington state exempts sales and use taxes on construction and equipment purchases for large rural data center facilities. Per raw source: facilities must be 100,000+ sq ft, with building permits issued in specified windows. The program expires July 1, 2048. A parallel Urban Data Centers exemption applies to King, Pierce, or Snohomish County facilities, expiring July 1, 2038, with limited certificates issued annually. Not a competitive grant — entitlement-style exemption claimed on excise returns.

Each grant below is a distinct funding opportunity with its own eligibility, scope, and deliverables.
