First half 2024 property taxes are due Tuesday

Property-tax payments for the first half of 2024 are due Tuesday, according to a news release from the Mason Couny Treasurer’s Office.

Payments can be made in person at the office at 411 N 5th St., Bldg. 1 (second floor) and pay in person between the hours of 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. or can be deposited in the drive-up payment drop box located in the alley.

Payments must be postmarked no later than Tuesday to be considered on time and avoid interest charges. Postmarks and delivery can be delayed when using USPS to mail payment, so the Treasurer’s Office says to mail payments early.

Delinquent charges will be assessed starting on Wednesday as outlined EHB1982 – RCW 84.56.020.

The Treasurer’s Office offers the ability to pay by credit/debit card at the counter, online and by phone through Point N Pay. It accepts Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express. Note there is a fee associated with the use of debit and credit cards for the payment of property taxes pursuant to RCW 36.29.190.

Note that if you have been assessed DNR Fire Patrol Assessment on more than one parcel of property owned by you in Mason County, you may be entitled to a refund from the Washington State Department of Natural Resources. Refund requests must be received on or before Dec. 31. Fire Patrol Refund forms can be found at http://www.masoncountywa.gov/treasurer under Forms/Brochures/Handouts or picked up at the office.
