Are you a Washington state citizen who is over 60 years old with an annual houseold income of less than $35,000 a year?
You may qualify to be exempt from paying property tax!
You can read all about the rules at the article posted by the WA Dept of Revenue website:
http://dor.wa.gov/Docs/Pubs/Prop_Tax/SeniorExempt.pdf
The rules are fairly simple to follow. There are several steps so read the entire article carefully.
You can go to your county's Assessor's office to get questions answered in person. This program is popular, so call ahead to see if you need to make an appointment. Just call your local county's courthouse to learn the direct phone number for the Assessor's office.
If you qualify, don't forget to submit a renewal application every 4 years.
I have met many seniors who are happily benefiting from this exemption.
Good luck!
Laura
