Welcome
The Skagit County Treasurer’s Office is a regional office serving about 80 local government districts. We operate under state law to provide cash custody, investment, revenue collection, and debt payment services to those districts.
Our Mission Statement
To safe-keep and manage public funds while equitably providing honest and respectful customer service.
In carrying out our responsibilities, our goal is to provide the highest quality of service and professionalism.
General Taxpayer Information
Property taxes are due when billed, however, there are two final dates that tax payments must be received. If you choose to split your property taxes into two installments, the first installment must be received by April 30 and the second installment must be received by October 31. If the property tax is less than $50.00, the full year must be paid by April 30. (RCW 84.56.020)
Late payments are subject to interest and penalties (RCW 84.56.020). Interest is assessed on the full year tax amount due, beginning May 1. Please contact our office at 360-416-1750 for the correct amount due if you are paying late.
The Skagit County Assessor sets values on property, establishes levies, and approves tax exemptions. Please contact the Assessor's Office for more information 360-416-1780.

Property owners have an opportunity to sign up for e-Statements.
The information on how to sign up for this service is included in your property tax statement.
Additionally, the Treasurer’s Office offers a convenient auto-pay program that automatically withdraws their tax payment on the due date. This is available to taxpayers at no cost and takes the worry out of missing a payment.
