Information on Property Taxes
The City understands that your annual property tax bill represents one of your most significant annual expenses. We have also heard from many Normandy Park residents who saw an increase in their 2024 property taxes. So, I wanted to take this opportunity to talk about the property tax system and the increase you probably saw this year.
