Heads up to homeowners in Spanaway, Midland, Summit, Graham, and South Hill.
Residential Property Inspections Begin Mid-September
Pierce County appraisers head back into the field mid-September for this year's residential inspections. State law requires that taxable property be physically inspected at least once every six years, so we inspect about one-sixth of Pierce County's properties annually. This year, appraisers will be working in Spanaway, Midland, Summit, Graham, and South Hill.
Inspections help ensure our records reflect what actually exists on each property — additions, remodels, and other improvements — and that every property is fairly assessed. In some cases, appraisers also update records when structures like garages or sheds have been removed. Keeping records current is how we maintain a fair, equitable property tax system for everyone.
