WAHKIAKUM COUNTY TREASURER

Property Transfers (Excise Tax Affidavits)

Sale of property requires that a Real Estate Excise Tax Affidavit be completed and filed with our office. A tax on the selling price of the real property is collected at the time. Currently, the tax rate is 1.53%. Affidavits filed without a tax due are subject to a $10.00 filing fee.

If you are gifting your property, a Real Estate Supplemental form must be signed by both parties and it must accompany the Real Estate Tax Affidavit. These are also subject to the $10.00 fee.

You have 30 days from the date of sale to avoid interest and penalty on the excise taxes due.
