What happens if I don’t pay my property taxes in full?

If you don’t pay your property taxes in full in Washington, you may be subject to penalties. The penalties will depend on which county you reside in and the specific tax regulations of that county. Generally, the county will assess late payment fees and interest on the unpaid amount. It is common for late fees to start accruing after a certain amount of time, and for interest to begin to be charged after that. Depending on how large your unpaid property tax bill is and how long it remains unpaid, additional legal action can be taken against you. The county may issue a lien against your property and even take steps to foreclose on the property to collect on the debt. Therefore, it is important to pay your property taxes on time and in full to avoid any late fees and potential legal action.
