Housing market update

First half of 2023 has seen a flattening of the average sales prices of single-family homes within Kitsap. In 2022, the average sales price of a SFR was $660,863, through the first half of 2023, the average sales price of and SFR is $655,741 or down less than 1% over all of 2022.  It will be interesting to see how the rest of 2023 goes, especially since the summer months are traditionally the “buying season” for real estate.

Change of Value Notices Were Mailed Value change notices were mailed on June 20th and if a taxpayer chooses to appeal that value they have until August 19th to file the appeal with the Board of Equalization.  If you have any questions regarding the new value, do not hesitate to contact our office and speak with an appraiser.  You can check the characteristics of your home; the assessed value and other information is available on Parcel Details.  Remember to File Your Personal Property Listing Time is running out to file your personal property listing. If you have a business, you are responsible to report all business assets to our office by April 30th of each year.  Reminders were recently sent to those businesses that have not yet filed.  You can still file online at the Business Personal Property Online Portal or contact our office for additional assistance.

Did You Know?

One of the responsibilities of the Assessor is to add all the newly constructed real property to the tax roll each year.  During the summer months, appraisers from the office conduct new construction visits throughout the county.  These visits are done to verify the percentage of completion of the improvements as of July 31^st of each year.  This new value will then be added to the property value and tax roll for the next year’s tax distribution calculation.
