Property Tax Calculation
In Washington State, all real and personal property is subject to taxation unless specifically exempted by law. Property tax is levied and collected by the local governments and used to fund local entities, such as counties, municipalities and school districts. Property tax was the first tax levied in the state of Washington.
Market Value
The Benton County Department of Assessment establishes the true market value, also known as market value, for all taxable real properties within the county. Market value has been defined by The Supreme Court as the sale price of real estate as agreed upon between a willing buyer and willing seller, with neither being under duress to buy or sell.
Appraised Value
Establishing the appraised value of a property represents the first step towards determining its taxable value. Appraised value is calculated by taking into consideration different approaches to value, using the comparative method, the cost method or the income method.
This property does not have an agricultural/timber use value; the appraised value is therefore equal to the market value.
Assessed Value
The second step is determining the property's assessed value which is done in accordance with Washington State Law, which requires that all properties are assessed at 100% of fair market value.
Exemptions
Benton County offers several property tax exemptions and deferrals that qualified homeowners can apply for, such as Senior Citizens, Disabled Persons, Homeowners with Limited Income or Nonprofit Organizations.
We have no information about whether any exemptions currently apply to this property, therefore the assessed value is equal to the taxable value.
Property Tax
Property tax is calculated by multiplying property's appraised value by the corresponding millage rates and is an estimate of what an owner not benefiting from any exemptions would pay. The rates are expressed as millages (i.e the actual rates multiplied by 1000).
Actual taxes might differ from the figures displayedhere due to various abatement and financial assistance programs or to non ad-valorem taxes. For more information please visit the web pages of Benton County's Department of Assessment, Treasurer or look up this property's current valuation and tax situation.
