PORT ANGELES — The first half of the year’s property taxes for Clallam County residents are due soon, county treasurer Teresa Marchi reminds residents.
Payments must be postmarked or dropped off at the Clallam County Courthouse by Tuesday, April 30; 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.
The only drop-off location that remains is the gray drop box specifically designated for property tax payments and other courthouse business, located within the circular drive at the courthouse at 223 E. Fourth St.
Taxpayers requiring a receipt are asked to enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope to have a receipt mailed back.
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 subject to 1 percent interest on the full year amount.
On June 1, an additional 1 percent interest and 3 percent penalty will be charged on the full year tax amount.
To access property tax information online, go to www.clallam.net and select “Property Search” in the left-hand column on the home page.
Those with questions regarding property taxes are encouraged to call the Treasurer’s Office at 360-417-2344.
