Remember the first installment of property taxes are due soon. Mailed payments must be postmarked, put in a drop box, or brought to the Treasurer’s Office by Tuesday, April 30 to avoid penalty and interest charges.

Taxes may be paid in person at the Jefferson County Courthouse Monday-Friday 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

There are four drop boxes in Jefferson County for payment by check throughout the month of April:

Drop box in rear parking lot of the courthouse

• Port Townsend 1st Security Bank of Washington

• Port Hadlock 1st Security Bank of Washington

• Port Ludlow Sound Community Bank

Credit card payments may be made online at www.co.jefferson.wa.us/329/Treasurer or by phone 1-877-812-8072. Instructions for both are on the back of the tax statement, and a 2.5 percent fee is charged by the service provider for credit card payments.

Electronic checks may be used to make payments, and a $2.00 service fee is charged by the provider. Go to the Jefferson County Treasurer’s webpage for instructions and fee amounts www.co.jefferson.wa.us/329/Treasurer

To request paperless tax statement delivery for 2019 via email instead of hard copies by USPS, sign up by clicking on the link “eNoticesOnline” on the Treasurer’s Office webpage.

Taxpayers who would like a receipt should include a self-addressed stamped envelope with their payment.

Call the Treasurer’s Office at 360-385-9150 with any questions.
