DID YOU KNOW?  State law provides two tax benefit programs for senior citizens and the disabled: property tax exemptions and property tax deferrals. Yet more than 26,000 qualified seniors and disabled persons have yet to register for the exemption, and only 1 in 100 of those eligible for deferrals are currently enrolled. Details of these two programs are provided below. The process of applying is fairly simple.We encourage you or those you know to take advantage of this meaningful tax relief provided for our citizens on fixed incomes.

Qualifications include:

  • Annual household income of $35,000 or less
  • Own and occupy a house, mobile home, condo or co-op,
  • 61 years of age by December 31 of the previous year, or
  • Retired because of physical disability or
  • Veteran with a 100% service-connected disability
  • You are a widow, or widower, or state registered domestic partner at least 57 years of age whose spouse or state registered domestic partner had an exemption at the time of death
The Property Tax Advisor provides King County taxpayers with advice and assistance on a variety of property tax matters, including appeals. The Tax Advisor Office is a division of the King County Office of Citizens Complaints, and is independent of the assessor's Office.
