Yakima County Assessor’s Office Responsibilities

The Yakima County Assessor’s Office is responsible for appraising land and buildings for tax purposes.

The Yakima County Assessor’s Office uses three methods when doing property valuation. They include the following:

  1. The market value

It is the value the property would sell for in the Yakima County area compared to similar ones.

  1. Revenue value

The Yakima County property’s value is based on its revenue-generating potential in this method.

  1. Replacement value

The Yakima County property’s value is reached by calculating how much it would cost to restore a structure.

The property value in Yakima County County is one of the lowest in Washington State. The Yakima County county’s tax rate is at 2, but the amount of tax paid is on the lower side.
