How are personal property taxes figured?
Taxes are computed on the assessed valuation as of January 1 of the preceding year. They are a lien on the personal property of the person assessed. It is unlawful to sell personal property without paying tax in advance. A clear bill of sale cannot be issued until such payment is made. Personal property is subject to immediate seizure and subsequent sale if at least the first half of the tax is not paid by April 30 and the second half by October 31. Check with the county treasurer's office before buying or selling any personal property (Revised Code of Washington Chapter 84.56.070.090).
