Each year county assessors around the country send out assessment notices in the mail letting homeowners know what the new assessed value of their home is for property tax purposes. Unlike most counties, King County, WA doesn’t send out all of their assessment notices at the same time.
Over the course of the spring and summer, the King County Assessor sends out assessment notices for a different group of neighborhoods each week. King County homeowners have sixty (60) days from the postmark date on their mailing notice to file their appeal (aka Real Property Petition Form) with the King County Board of Equalization. That means each neighborhood’s appeal deadline is a little different.
King County property tax assessments as of January 1st, 2010 for taxes paid in 2011. (AKA The 2011 Tax Year)
