If the board decreases the value of my property, how will that affect my taxes?

If the Board decreases your property value, the Assessor's records will be adjusted, and the Treasurer's office will either send a revised tax statement if the decision occurs before October 31 of the tax year or issue a refund if your full year's taxes have already been paid (WAC 458-14-116(3)). This process may take a few months to complete.
