Deferrals & Assistance Information

Deferrals

Deferral programs require you to pay the first half of your tax and defer the second half. The amount of equity you have in your property determines the amount of taxes you can defer. The deferred taxes plus interest will become a lien on the property in favor of the State of Washington until the total amount is repaid. Applications are due by September 1.

Assistance

Property tax assistance program for widows or widowers of veterans requires you first to apply for the exemption program. There are three levels of assistance depending on your final combined disposable income.

Additional information and applications for these programs can be obtained at the Department of Revenue website: https://dor.wa.gov/taxes-rates/property-tax/property-tax-exemptions-and-deferrals
