The April 30 deadline to pay Jefferson County property taxes is fast approaching.
Property tax statements were mailed in mid-February and property owners have two options. They can pay the entire bill on or before April 30, or pay the first half of taxes due on or before April 30, followed by the second half due on or before Oct. 31.
Payments received after the due dates will be subject to interest accrual and potential penalties if the payment continues to remain unpaid.
Tax payers have a variety of options to make their payments. Payments can be made in person at the Jefferson County Treasurer's Office during office hours, Monday through Friday 8:30 a.m. through 4:30 p.m. The county accepts cash via in-person payments at the Treasurer’s Office.
Taxpayers can also pay with check, money order or cashier’s check in person, via the U.S. Postal Service or at one of the treasurer’s drop boxes.
Property tax drop boxes are located in the parking lot behind the Jefferson County Courthouse at 1820 Jefferson St. in Port Townsend, at the 1st Security Bank of Washington in Port Townsend and Port Hadlock, and at Sound Community Bank in Port Ludlow.
Taxes sent USPS must be postmarked on or before the due date to avoid interest or penalties.
Taxes can also be paid online with a Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express, Visa Debit or electronic check. Go to: https://www.co.jefferson.wa.us/337/Pay-Online-Property-Taxes-and-Assessment to learn more.
Taxpayers also have the option of paying by phone at 1-877-812-8072. To pay be phone, you must have your property ID number and know the amount to pay from your statement.
Statements are mailed in February of each year. Property owners receive statements by mail or by eNotices. If you, your spouse or a co-owner signed up for receiving statements electronically by eNotices, you will not receive a paper statement.
To request a duplicate statement, email treasurerstaff@co.jefferson.wa.us. Duplicates are sent via email only. The treasurer’s office does not mail duplicate hard copies due to expense.
For more information, call the Jefferson County Treasurer’s Office at 360-385-9150 between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. weekdays.
