Property tax statement and postcard notices will start to arrive in taxpayer mailboxes within the next week according to Shawn Myers, Thurston County Treasurer. Taxpayers have until April 30 to pay their first half property taxes. Mailed payments must be postmarked by the due date to avoid interest and penalty charges.
Payments can be made on the County Treasurer’s web site using an electronic check without a fee, by major credit card with a 2.5% transaction fee or a VISA debit card with a $3.95 flat fee. Payments can also be made in person at the Treasurer’s Office in Building One or the parking lot drop box at the courthouse-2000 Lakeridge Drive SW, Olympia, 98502. Office hours are 8a.m. to 4:30p.m., Monday through Friday.
County Assessor, Steven Drew and County Treasurer, Shawn Myers continue to work together in order to provide valuable and accessible information regarding property assessments and taxes. Property taxes are calculated based upon the value established for each property and the taxing district levy rates where each property is located.
