Washington State Property Owners Can Contest 2024 Tax Assessments by Paying 2025 Taxes Under Protest

by William C. Severson
March 25, 2025

With the April 30 property tax payment deadline fast approaching, we want to remind you that you can still preserve the right to challenge the validity of your Washington 2024 tax assessment by paying your 2025 taxes under written protest. This judicial remedy is available even if you missed the deadline last year for filing an administrative appeal of the assessment.

If you have any questions regarding whether you should pay under protest or the legal requirements for a protest, please contact Bill Severson.
