Why is the value of my property high?
The value is set by the
Assessor's office.
3.
Are there any special requirements to sell real or personal property?
A Real Estate Excise Tax Affidavit form must be filed with the Treasurer's Office prior to a deed being recorded in the Auditor's Office. Payment must be made at the time the affidavit is filed.

5.
Where can I get a copy of the Real Estate Excise Affidavit and other related forms?
You can obtain these forms at the Treasurer's Office free of charge or the
Washington State Department of Revenue.
6.
How long do I have to process my property transfer and pay excise tax?
You have 30 days from the date of sale to avoid interest and penalty on the excise taxes due.
