Clallam County inventory totals $37.3 million . . .

Clallam County: What’s it worth to you? Although it’s impossible to evaluate every asset down to the penny, a good guess is $37,318,611.

Stan Creasey, chief accountant in the county auditor’s office, set that figure in an annual report of capitalized assets – public property that is expected to last 18 months or longer and is worth more than $5,000.

The numbers represent what the county paid at the time of purchase.

Appreciation, depreciation and inflation are not factored in.

Topping the list is the new portion of the Clallam County Courthouse, priced at $22,031,994.

The old courthouse is worth only $67,237, according to the report.

Remodeling the 1914 brick building, however, cost $178,890 outside, $190,334 inside, and another $21,519 to fix the clock.

Clallam County paid $7,205 to protect it with bird deterrents.
