Concerning property tax reform.
HB 2621 expands Washington's senior property tax relief program to cover more residents. It increases income thresholds for full exemption (from $50,000 to $70,000 for moderate income, and $60,000 to $80,000 for lowest income) and raises the property value cap for full exemption (to $500,000). Eligibility includes residents 61+ or disabled retirees, veterans with 40%+ disability rating, and surviving spouses 57+. The bill also streamlines how exemptions transfer when moving homes and requires clearer reporting on how property tax revenue is used. This directly affects seniors and disabled homeowners with limited income who own their primary residence.
