Washington State Expands Property Tax Exemptions for Seniors, Disabled Veterans
Washington state has introduced new property tax exemptions for seniors, individuals with disabilities, and disabled veterans, effective from the 2027 tax statements. The law reduces the veteran disability rating requirement from 80% to 40% and increases income limits, allowing more people to qualify.
Counties like Franklin, Benton, Pierce, Thurston, and Whatcom have seen income caps rise, with automatic exemptions pushing the limits even higher. Homeowners who currently qualify will be automatically upgraded, and taxable home values will freeze at the first eligible year to maintain stable bills.
The program is divided into three tiers, with the top tier eliminating excess levies and part of the state school levy for those at the maximum income level. Those over the limit can still opt for deferrals, and past qualifiers may be eligible for refunds for previous years.
Apply for the exemption after receiving your 2026 federal tax return and documents. Visit the Department of Revenue website for your countys specific details and secure your savings.
