The Tax Exemption Program for senior citizens and people with disabilities can reduce property tax liability for qualifying homeowners
VANCOUVER – The Clark County Assessor’s office property tax exemption specialists will be available to answer questions and enroll property owners in the county’s property tax relief program at an upcoming outreach signup event.
The Tax Exemption Program for senior citizens and people with disabilities can reduce property tax liability for qualifying homeowners. Eligibility is based on age or disability, home ownership, residency, and income. Participants are not required to repay the taxes, and their homes are not subject to property liens.
Exemption specialists will be on hand at the Firstenburg Community Center in the Resource Classroom to enroll applicants from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Friday, May 17. The center is located at 700 NE 136th Ave.
To schedule an appointment for the event, call (564) 397-2391 or email taxreduction@clark.wa.gov. Walk-ins also are welcome. Homeowners interested in attending should bring photo ID, federal tax return, W-2 and/or 1099, and any deduction documentation.
