As your King County Assessor, I want you to know that we continue to work hard to improve the overall administration of the Assessor's Office. We have a loyal and hardworking staff who are here to assist you. Through our Public Information Office, you may verify the characteristics and appraisal methods used to determine your most recent assessed value.
Appraisers are available to answer questions and make corrections when necessary.
Be assured, we strive to follow professional standards to provide an appraisal practice of uniformity and fairness in assessments which takes into account differences between properties. Please remember the Assessor's duties fall within the framework of Washington State Law. Any changes to the assessment and tax calculation procedure can be made only by your state legislators. We would be happy to direct you to your representatives in Olympia. Thank you, the citizens of King County, for allowing me the challenging and rewarding opportunity to lead the Department of Assessments in its mission of public service.
