Exemptions & appeals
Exemption filing
For the 2026 Senior/Disabled exemption, the county application uses 2025 income and should be filed with the Assessor; no separate county filing date was published. Other exemption programs have their own statutory deadlines.
Senior relief
Pierce County's 2026 application covers a senior age 61 or older by December 31, 2025, or a person retired because of disability, with 2025 household income of $64,000 or less. The program can freeze the residence value and reduce property taxes; application and instructions: https://www.piercecountywa.gov/682/Property-Tax-Exemptions-Deferrals
Valuation limits
Washington has no individual parcel assessed-value cap. County assessors value property at 100% of true and fair market value; regular taxing-district levy revenue is generally limited to a 1% annual increase plus new construction under RCW 84.55, subject to voter-approved lid lifts and other statutory rules. The 1% constitutional levy limit constrains aggregate regular levies, not an individual parcel's value.
For a valuation appeal, use the appeal date in the tax and filing section above. Keep your notice, supporting evidence, and proof of submission.
