Property Taxes

How are my property taxes calculated?

Your property taxes are calculated by multiplying your home’s assessed value by the tax "rate." The King County Assessor’s Office determines your property’s value, which is based on true-market value. The tax rate is the total of all property taxes levied by all the taxing districts--School District, State, Library, County, Hospital district, and the City. The City’s share of the property tax rate is about 14% of the total property taxes you pay. All of the districts that levy property taxes are subject to limits. The City’s tax levy increase cannot exceed 1% per year without a vote of citizens.
