About This Program

Washington State offers property tax exemptions for homeowners age 61+ or those unable to work due to disability (any age) or disabled veterans with 80%+ VA rating. For tax year 2026 in King County, households earning up to $84,000 qualify across three income tiers that determine the exemption level. Senate Bill 6162 (signed March 2026) will raise the income ceiling to $100,000 starting with the 2027 tax year. Exempted value is frozen and excess levies are eliminated.

Annual tax savings vary widely based on assessed home value and tier; typical savings range from $500 to $3,000+ per year.
