Concerning property tax relief for homeowners and renters.
SB 6295 creates a new homestead property tax exemption program primarily for homeowners in Washington. It exempts the first $500,000 of assessed value for eligible primary residences (including single-family homes, multi-unit dwellings with separate taxation, and certain manufactured/mobile homes) starting in 2028. The exemption amount increases annually based on state levy growth and requires homeowners to claim it annually by June 30th through county assessors. This policy directly affects Washington homeowners who qualify as primary residents, reducing their state property tax burden without impacting existing exemptions.
