The Tax Exemption Program for senior citizens and people with disabilities can reduce property tax liability for qualifying homeowners

To schedule an appointment for the event, call (564) 397-2391 or email taxreduction@clark.wa.gov. Walk-ins also are welcome. Homeowners interesting in attending should bring photo ID, federal tax return, W-2 and/or 1099, and any deduction documentation.
