Y’all check your 2024 property tax dues?

Hello fellow King County, WA residents. If you own a home, prepare to shit a brick. Property taxes went up by 30% over last year. https://kingcounty.gov/en/legacy/depts/finance-business-operations/treasury/property-tax It’s gonna make this year’s freeze on merit increases that much more brutal. #mortgage #housing #seattle

Pay your fair share

30 percent? You're sure? That seems like an awful lot. Looks like state property taxes are capped at 1% a year. There was a bill to hike it to 3% but it looks like it was nixxed. Or are you referring to the proposition passed to levy money to build crisis care centers?

OP said went up "by 30%", not went up "to 30%"

But property taxes are only supposed to go up "by 1%" a year.

How? My property value is pretty flat from last year. What’s the driver?

Take a look at Redfin estimate for this property https://redf.in/xiBSky, it came down in 2023 as interest rates rose. King county in avg saw 9% decline yoy in 2023.

I’m in Snohomish county and challenge the property tax every year. They always make concessions on the spot. Push back
