Reminder: Second-Half 2020 Property Taxes are due November 2

The deadline will not be extended.

King County property owners who pay their property taxes themselves, rather than through a mortgage lender, have until Monday, November 2 to pay the second half of their 2020 bill. After that date, interest charges and penalties will be added to the tax bill.

As you may recall, the first half payment deadline of April 30 was extended due to the COVID-19 pandemic. If the County were to extended the second half deadline, it could create substantial financial risk for many cities, counties, school districts, fire districts, hospital districts, and other special purpose districts. These jurisdictions rely heavily on the timely receipt of the year's second installment of property tax revenue to make December debt service payments.
