With the April 30 property tax payment deadline fast approaching, this is a reminder that you can still preserve the right to challenge the validity of your 2022 tax assessment by paying your 2023 taxes under written protest. This judicial remedy is available even if you missed the deadline last year for filing an administrative appeal of the assessment. If you have any questions regarding whether you should pay under protest or the legal requirements for a protest, please contact Bill Severson at 206.223.7118 or seversonw@lanepowell.com.
