Second Half Property
Taxes due by October 31, 2011
SKAGIT COUNTY - The due
date for second half property taxes is October 31, 2011, according to Skagit
County Treasurer Katie Jungquist. State law requires that payments postmarked
after this date are subject to a 1% per month finance charge. In addition, an
8% penalty is assessed if the payment is made after November 30, 2011.
Senior citizens and disabled persons are reminded that if they own a residence
or mobile home and are 61 years or older, or are retired because of a disability
and make $35,000 or less, they may qualify for a property tax exemption.
County residents may remit tax payments by credit card at www.officialpayments.com
or at 1-888-272-9829. The Jurisdiction Code is 5611. A fee is charged for this
service. Payments can also be dropped off at the drop box located near the stairs
in the parking lot behind the courthouse.
Jungquist encourages anyone who does not have a tax statement or needs assistance
in any way, to contact the Treasurer's office at 360-336-9350 or at treasurer@co.skagit.wa.us.
