Property tax relief is available for recent flood and storm damaged property. Any property damaged or destroyed is eligible for a reduction of assessed value resulting in lower property taxes. The amount of reduction depends on the amount of value loss and when the natural disaster occurred. If you own property in King County and wish to file a Destroyed Property claim, please use the King County Destroyed Property Form. For more general information, please see Destroyed Property.
Additional information regarding destroyed property and claims see DOR (external link).
Note: Properties qualifying for a reduction in value affecting 2009 taxes will receive a corrected tax statement after the mid-February mailing of the tax bills currently in process which cannot consider the recent flood and storm damage.
