🏑 Home Energy Score requirement coming to parts of Thurston County

Thurston County approved a $169,000 regional contract with Earth Advantage to develop and operate a Home Energy Score program with:

πŸ”Ή Thurston County
πŸ”Ή Olympia
πŸ”Ή Lacey
πŸ”Ή Tumwater

It’s a U.S. Department of Energy assessment that evaluates a home’s insulation, windows, foundation, heating, cooling and water-heating systems. Homes receive a 1–10 score, along with estimated energy use, costs and potential savings.

Assessments generally take about one hour and typically cost $150–$350.

🚨What sellers should know

For covered homes in unincorporated Thurston County, the requirement is expected to begin in March 2027. Sellers will generally need to complete the assessment and include the score with the listing.

βœ… No energy upgrades are required
βœ… No minimum score is required
βœ… The score does not affect property-tax valuation
βœ… The goal is to give buyers more information about energy performance

Exemptions and assistance may be available for certain transfers, hardship situations and some low-income households.

The requirement does not automatically apply throughout Thurston County. Thurston County and Olympia have adopted policies, while Lacey and Tumwater were still considering similar ordinances when the regional contract was prepared. Each jurisdiction must adopt and implement its own requirements.

If you may sell in 2027 or later, start by confirming:

πŸ“ Which jurisdiction covers the property
πŸ“… When the requirement takes effect
πŸ” Whether the home is covered or exempt
πŸ“‹ How early to schedule the assessment
πŸ’΅ Whether financial assistance is available

Planning ahead may help prevent listing delays.
