Welcome to the Kitsap County Assessor's Office website!

The primary role of the Assessor's Office is to establish an assessed valuation of all real and personal property for tax purposes. The Assessor is required by law to assess all taxable property at 100% of market value.  These values are used to calculate and set levy rates for the various taxing districts in the county, and to equitably distribute tax responsibility among taxpayers.

The Assessor's office appraises property both by physical inspection and by market activity. Washington State Law mandates that property must be physically inspected at least once every six years, with annual review and update based on sales analysis.

Business Personal Property Online Filing is now open.  Personal Property listings for Assessment Year 2012 (Taxes Payable in 2013) will be sent out shortly.  You MUST file your Personal Property Listing with our office by April 30th, 2012, even if you have no changes to report.  Two filing options are: complete the paper listing and mail, fax or deliver to our office or file online.

Reduced hours continue into 2012.  Our office will be open Monday through Thursday, 8:00 to 5:00, closed on Fridays and holidays.

Mission Statement:
The Assessor is required by law to distribute the property tax burden within Kitsap County. This is done by equitably valuing property, setting individual taxing district levies based on those values, administering tax relief (exemption) programs, and maintaining all assessment records. The above mandated services shall be provided in a courteous, efficient, and understandable manner.
