Property taxes are due April 30

Clallam County Treasurer Selinda Barkhuis is reminding Clallam County property owners that first-half property taxes for 2015 are due by Thursday, April 30.

Property tax payments must be postmarked or dropped off at the Clallam County Courthouse (223 E. Fourth St., Port Angeles) by that date. Mail dropped in a U.S. postal mailbox after the post office pick-up time may result in a postmark of May 1 and will be considered delinquent.

There are no longer any drop-off locations in Forks and Sequim; the only drop-off location that remains is in the circular drive at the Clallam County Courthouse. The Treasurer’s Office accepts most credit and debit cards, either at the Treasurer’s Office counter or online at www.clallam.net/Treasurer. A convenience fee will be charged by the credit and/or debit card provider.

Payments postmarked or dropped off at the county courthouse after April 30 are considered delinquent and subject to 1 percent delinquent interest. On June 1, an additional 1 percent interest and 3 percent penalty are charged.

To access property tax information online, select “Property Search” in the lefthand column on the home page of the county’s website at www.clallam.net.
