2026 Property Taxes

Where do my property tax dollars go?

We collect taxes for the state, the county, cities, and taxing districts like schools. Then we distribute the revenue back to them. Taxes also fund voter-approved measures for veterans, seniors, fire protection, and parks. For the most part these voter-approved measures, and not increasing property values, are responsible for increases in property taxes.

King County gets about 20% of your property taxes to fund services like roads, criminal justice, and public health.
