Kitsap County, Washington · Parcel, deed, tax, survey and appeal help

Find Property Details, Recorded Deeds & GIS Maps

Search Kitsap County property by owner name, street address or tax parcel number, then review assessed values, value history, buildings, sales, tax descriptions, payment history and the parcel’s mapped location.

This guide also explains when to leave the Assessor search and use Auditor Recording, the Treasurer or the Board of Equalization—so a user can move from a parcel result to a deed, survey, tax payment, exemption or valuation appeal without guessing.

Get the quick answer Follow parcel-search steps Check the August appeal deadline
The Auditor is not the primary parcel-appraisal office. Start with the Kitsap County Assessor for parcel details and assessed values. Use the Auditor’s Recording division for deeds, mortgages, liens, surveys, plats and other recorded land documents.

Quick answer: which property search should you use?

Use Kitsap County Parcel Details when you need the taxpayer of record, assessed value, tax description, buildings, sales, tax bill or payment history. Use the Auditor Recorded Documents Search when you need the actual deed, mortgage, lien, easement, survey or plat.

1 Find the tax parcel Search the owner, address or parcel number.
2 Verify two facts Match the parcel number and physical location.
3 Save the record Keep the value, tax description and sale data.
4 Use the next office Recording, Treasurer, Assessor or Board of Equalization.

GIS, plats and boundary research

Use parcel maps without treating them as surveys

Kitsap County’s Assessor gives a direct warning: Never rely on GIS maps for exact boundaries. An on-site professional survey is the reliable way to locate property lines and corners.

Safe map workflow

Find the parcel first Copy the complete parcel number from Parcel Details.
Open the county parcel map Search by parcel, owner or address.
Zoom closely Review adjoining parcels, roads, shoreline and general parcel configuration.
Record the map date and parcel number Treat the map as research rather than final legal evidence.
Find the deed, survey or plat Search Auditor Recording using the parcel number and property description.
Hire a surveyor when exact location matters Use a professional before building, fencing or resolving an encroachment.

Time-sensitive 2026 action

File a value appeal by August 31, 2026

Notices mailed June 26, 2026

27,340 Change of Value Notices were mailed.

Notice date June 29, 2026

The appeal period is calculated from this notice date.

Published deadline August 31, 2026

File or obtain the required postmark by this date.

The deadline is approaching. Appeals for the 2026 assessment notices used for taxes payable in 2027 must be filed by Monday, August 31, 2026. Include a copy of the Notice of Value.

Start with an Assessor review

Call the Assessor Discuss the property facts and value concern with an appraiser at 360-337-5777.
Identify the precise issue State whether the disagreement involves market value, building data, land characteristics, classification or an exemption decision.
Save the 2026 Notice of Value The Board requires a copy with the petition.
Complete one petition per parcel Separate parcels require separate complete petitions.
State the Assessor value and your value Explain why the county value exceeds true and fair market value.
File by August 31 The petition must be received, emailed or postmarked by the deadline.

Evidence the Board can use

Recent subject-property sale
Comparable neighborhood sales
Independent appraisal
Contractor repair estimates
Photographs of defects or limitations
Government letters about development limits
Recorded easements affecting value
Maps showing access or traffic issues
Arguments the Board cannot use by themselves: Personal hardship, the amount of tax, percentage increase and simple comparisons with another assessment do not establish market value.

No Change of Value Notice received

A property owner who did not receive a notice may still have appeal rights. A Good Cause waiver must generally accompany an appeal filed after July 1 when no notice was received. Contact the Board before filing.

What happens after filing?

  • There is no filing fee.
  • Hearings may be held by telephone or in person.
  • Hearings are generally scheduled Tuesdays and Wednesdays between 9 a.m. and 3:30 p.m.

Senior, disability and veteran relief

Check the 2026 exemption and deferral programs

Kitsap County senior and disabled property-tax programs
Program
Basic 2026 requirement
Main effect
Senior or Disabled Exemption
Age 61, qualifying disability, or 80% service-connected veteran disability; income of $65,000 or less.
Freezes a qualifying value and reduces applicable levies based on income category.
Senior or Disabled Deferral
Generally age 60 or disabled, qualifying residence and income of $68,803 or less.
State pays qualifying taxes, which become a lien repayable with interest.
Limited Income Deferral
Income, ownership, equity and residency requirements apply.
Defers qualifying property-tax obligations rather than permanently eliminating them.

Senior or Disabled Exemption checklist

Own the qualifying residence
Occupy it as the principal home for more than six months
Age 61 by December 31 of the preceding year
Or meet disability or veteran rules
2025 household income of $65,000 or less for 2026 taxes
Provide tax returns and supporting income records
Provide disability evidence when applicable
Report later income, occupancy or ownership changes

Published exemption levels

Category A

Household income of $46,000 or less.

Provides the strongest published regular-levy and special-levy relief.

Category B

Household income from $46,001 to $56,000.

Provides special-levy relief and a partial regular-levy exemption.

Category C

Household income from $56,001 to $65,000.

Provides relief from applicable excess or special levies.

Application-year rule: Eligibility for 2026 taxes is based on 2025 ownership, occupancy, age or disability and household income.
Deferral is a lien—not a free exemption. Under the deferral programme, the state pays qualifying tax and assessments. The deferred amount and interest must generally be repaid when ownership transfers.
Review exemption application Review deferral programme Call Assessor: 360-337-5777
Open Space and agricultural land

Check Current Use and Designated Forest Land

Current Use programmes can value qualifying property according to its current open-space, agricultural or forest use rather than its highest and best market use.

Code
Classification
Important consideration
830
Current Use Farm and Agriculture

Current Use Open Space
Approval and continuing land-use requirements apply.
880
Designated Forest Land
Removal can create substantial compensating taxes.
950
Partially Designated Forest Land
Only part of the parcel may receive the classification.

Application timing

Applications received by the end of a calendar year are processed during the following year, with the tax benefit beginning in the next tax year after processing. This means the benefit is not immediate.

Removal and transfer warning: Removing Current Use or Designated Forest classification usually creates compensating back taxes. Designated Forest Land calculations can include the current year plus up to nine prior years.

Property transfer and REET

Move from a deed to an updated property record

Washington property transfers commonly involve the Treasurer’s Real Estate Excise Tax process and the Auditor’s Recording division. The Assessor later processes sales information for valuation and ownership display.

Ten practical answers

Kitsap County property search FAQs

Where can I search Kitsap County property records?

Use the official Kitsap County Parcel Details search for ownership, assessed values, value history, tax descriptions, building information, sales and payment history. Use the Auditor’s recorded-document search for deeds, mortgages, liens, plats and surveys.

Can I search Kitsap County property by owner name?

Yes. Start with the owner’s last name or the most distinctive word in a trust, estate or business name. Add the first name only when the results are too broad.

How do I search Kitsap County recorded deeds?

Use the Auditor Recording search. Enter the last name first without a comma, search an approximate recording date, enter the 14-digit tax parcel number without dashes, or search by property description and document type.

Why is a recent buyer not showing in the Kitsap parcel search?

Name changes created from real estate excise documents may take several weeks to appear in the parcel system. The recorded deed is the primary evidence that the ownership transfer occurred.

When is the next Kitsap County property-tax payment due?

The second-half property-tax installment is listed as due October 31, 2026. If the total annual tax is $50 or less, the full amount was due April 30.

How much does Kitsap County charge for online property-tax payments?

Online electronic-check payments are currently free. Credit cards, debit cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Venmo and PayPal carry a published 2.95% payment fee.

Are Kitsap County GIS parcel lines legal boundaries?

No. The Assessor warns that GIS maps should never be relied upon for exact property boundaries. A professional on-site survey is the reliable way to locate actual property lines and corners.

What is the 2026 Kitsap County property-value appeal deadline?

For the 2026 Change of Value Notices dated June 29, 2026, the published Board of Equalization appeal deadline is Monday, August 31, 2026.

Who qualifies for the Kitsap senior or disabled property-tax exemption?

For 2026 taxes, applicants generally must meet ownership and residency requirements and be at least age 61, unable to work because of disability, or a veteran with an 80% or higher service-connected disability. Household income must be $65,000 or less.

Who should I call about a Kitsap County property-tax payment?

Contact the Kitsap County Treasurer for tax balances and payments. Contact the Assessor at 360-337-5777 for assessed value and parcel characteristics, and Auditor Recording at 360-337-4935 for deeds and recorded documents.

Information checked August 6, 2026: Parcel-search responsibilities, Auditor Recording coverage, 2026 tax deadlines, payment fees, property-line warnings, appeal dates, exemption thresholds, Current Use rules, recording requirements, excise-tax steps, contacts and office hours were checked against official Kitsap County and Washington State sources.

BOR Deadline Countdown

MAR 31

Ohio's statutory Board of Revision filing deadline is March 31 for the prior tax year. Miss it and you wait until next year — no extensions.

Set your deadline to start the countdown.

Verify with the official Ohio source

These calculators use the verified 2026 Ohio Department of Taxation amounts and statutory rules. For your exact bill, exemption status, and county-specific deadlines, always confirm with your county auditor and the Ohio Revised Code:

Ohio Dept. of Taxation — Real Property DTE Forms (105A, 105C, 1, 109) ORC 5715 — Board of Revision ORC 5713 — Taxable Real Property ORC 322.02 — Conveyance Fee ORC 319.54(F)(3) — State Fee ORC 5713.30 — CAUV tax.ohio.gov — Main Portal

Estimates use Ohio's 35% statutory assessment ratio and effective tax rate tiers averaged across major Ohio counties. Your actual bill depends on local school levies, voted millage, inside vs. outside millage splits, House Bill 920 reduction factors (HB 920), and special assessments. The 2026 Homestead general amount ($29,000) and enhanced amount ($58,000) reflect HB 187 inflation indexing — your county auditor's office may show slightly different transitional figures.
