Property taxpayers in King County who have not yet paid the first half of their 2020 taxes now have the option of setting up a payment plan.
On June 23, the King County Council approved a motion sponsored by Councilmember Reagan Dunn that would allow taxpayers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic to spread out payments over a period of up to 18 months.
“To help our taxpayers cope with the financial impacts of the pandemic, I’ve asked our Treasury staff to expedite the payment plan option so that it is readily available starting in July for any residential or commercial taxpayer who was not able to pay their property taxes by this year’s June 1 property tax deadline,” Constantine said.
The payment plan program will allow these taxpayers to make monthly payments to bring their account current, instead of having to pay the overdue taxes in one lump sum.
Payment plans are available for real property homes, commercial businesses, land, and mobile homes in King County.
