Property tax statements should be landing in the mailboxes of Jefferson County property owners, according to Jefferson County Treasurer Stacie Prada.
Property owners who are enrolled in eNotices were notified via email on Tuesday, Feb. 7.
Prada is reminding property owners that the deadline to pay first installment property taxes is May 1. It was extended from April 30 because that due date falls on a weekend.
According to Jefferson County Assessor Jeff Chapman, the total taxable value for the county rose by 21.32 percent in 2022 from 2021.
Due to budget limitations for taxing district increases, collections went up by only 3.25 percent, which is less than inflation, county officials noted. While property values went up, levy rates for non-voted levies dropped, and taxes for the average homeowner only changed by a few percent.
Median property values at the start of 2022 for homes ranged from $316,000 (Brinnon) to $595,000 (Marrowstone) with the countywide and citywide median values both being $478,000.
