King County tax transparency tool helps residents estimate the impact of proposed taxes on their property
Recently profiled in The Seattle Times, this new tool offered by the King County Department of Assessments allows for property owners and renters to see exactly how much in tax they would have to pay on their individual properties.
The Tax Transparency Tool is useful because it is more personal and precise in its calculations. Assessor John Wilson explained this as an essential part of its design.
“The intent here isn’t to take sides one way or another,” Wilson said. “You just want people to understand.”
