County Assessor provides information about the destroyed property exemption
(Port Orchard, WA) - Has your home recently experienced damage from the winter storms? If so, you may qualify for a reduction to your assessed value. "There are ways to reduce your assessed value if your home was damaged by winter storms," according to County Assessor Phil Cook.
Washington State law allows the Assessor to reduce the assessed value of damaged property as of the date of destruction when notified by the property owner. You may qualify for an adjustment to your assessed value if you have property that has been destroyed.
Any real or personal property that has been placed upon the assessment roll as of January 1 of the assessment year in which the property was destroyed*, in whole or in part, or is in an area that has been declared a disaster area by the governor or the county legislative authority and has been reduced in value by more than 20 percent, may be eligible.
Please check the Assessor’s Destroyed Property Exemption page for more information or contact the office at 360.337.7160 for assistance.
