Spokane real estate brokers said that what’s happening in today’s market is extraordinary. 1, so they don’t necessarily reflect accurate market prices in May. The value of a house is largely determined by home sales in your neighborhood.Īll of the county’s assessments are based on market values as of Jan. The county looks at real estate sales to set assessed values. That means the average single-family home is about 1.5 times as valuable today as it was four years ago. Hollenback said single-family homes have risen by roughly that amount each of the last four years. That’s a big jump, but county appraisal supervisor Joe Hollenback said it’s about the same as last year. Spokane County single-family residential property values rose 12.6% this year, according to the assessor’s office. If the governments again ask for $100, half the property owners will owe $5 and half will owe $15.Īt this point, the increases are almost starting to feel normal. Now imagine in 2021, five of those buildings jump in value to $150,000 a piece while the other five fall to $50,000. If governments ask for $100, each property owner will have to contribute $10. The people who own those properties have to fund all the government budgets. Imagine there are only 10 pieces of property in Spokane in 2020, each worth $100,000. The government budget request might not change much year-to-year, but who has to pay does. That can mean that homeowners have to shoulder more of the property tax burden. So if all government entities increased their budgets by 1%, and all property values stayed the same, all property taxes would increase by 1%.įor instance, residential values are generally rising more quickly than commercial ones. They can also ask voters for supplemental levies and bonds if they want to increase their budgets beyond that 1% cap. In Washington, taxing entities - counties, cities, schools, fire districts - can increase their budgets by 1% every year. If a home is worth $100,000, the homeowner pays $5.
For instance, a levy could be set at $5 for every $100,000 of value. People generally talk about these levy rates as dollar-amounts per $100,000. Local governments and taxing districts set levy rates when they put together their budgets.
“It really depends on your assessment level relative to your neighbors and how much the taxing districts are asking for new spending and voting for bond levies,” Spokane County Appraisal Supervisor Joe Hollenback said. Assessed values and taxes aren’t directly connected.
