Skagit County Assessor

Serving as your Skagit County Assessor has been one of the great privileges of my career. I’ve committed to accurate valuations, consistent application of the law, and getting out into the community, with over 60 presentations to more than 2,000 Skagit County residents. That’s what I’m committed to building on. There is an important change residents should know about. Engrossed Substitute Senate Bill 6162, signed into law this year, significantly expands the Senior and Persons with Disabilities Property Tax Exemption. The income threshold rises from $48,000 to $78,000, a new standard deduction of $7,500 for individuals and $15,000 for couples or domestic partnerships will apply, and access is expanded for disabled veterans. Many who didn’t qualify before may qualify now. Our office is leading the state in preparing for this expansion and will begin accepting applications for 2027 this fall. Visit the Skagit County Assessor’s Office website to learn more and see if you qualify. In four years, we’ve launched an online portal for exemptions, expanded bilingual services, and through technology and improved training, led the state in mass appraisal performance, with a smaller team. Thank you for the trust you’ve placed in me and this office.
