the property-tax date moved this year
· Bellevue Dispatch, issue 2 · All Bellevue news
King County's second-half property tax is due October 31 — except October 31 lands on a Saturday in 2026, and the county's rule moves a deadline falling on a weekend or county holiday to the next business day, which makes it Monday, November 2. Pay online by card or e-check (a service fee applies), by mail postmarked no later than the due date, in person at 201 S. Jackson Street, or by the secure drop box at King Street Center. If your assessed value looked wrong this year, the window to challenge it is not October: petitions go to the Board of Appeals and Equalization by July 1 of the assessment year, or within 60 calendar days of the date on your value notice, whichever is later. Valuation notices mail between May and November, so the one arriving now starts a 60-day clock. Payment details · How to appeal
