eCheck payment ($0.55): An eCheck is an online version of a physical check that is deducted directly from your checking account. When you make your online tax payment from the treasury website, you authorize the bank to electronically withdraw funds from your checking account for the amount of your tax payment. The convenience fee for an eCheck transaction is $0.55.
-
Visa Debit Card payment ($3.50 flat fee): Debit card transactions are limited to Visa cards only. Debit card payments are processed immediately through your banking institute and a flat fee of $3.50 applies.
-
Credit Card payment (2.35% of the total amount charged): Credit card payments can be made with VISA, MasterCard, American Express, or Discover. All credit card payments are processed immediately and 2.35% is charged to your card, for the amount paid.
Note about transaction fees: a transaction fee (convenience fee) is charged by our payment processor. King County does not receive any part of the transaction fee.

Payments by Mail: If you wish to mail in your property tax payment, mail your payment to King County Treasury, 201 S. Jackson St., #710, Seattle, WA 98104. You can also use the grey return envelope that was enclosed with your 2022 tax statement.
