Board of Equalization

Welcome

The Grays Harbor County Board of Equalization (BOE) is an independent, quasi-judicial board established to ensure property assessments are fair, accurate, and equitable. Governed by Washington State law and the Department of Revenue guidelines, the BOE serves as a neutral entity for taxpayers who wish to appeal property value assessments made by the County Assessor’s Office.

The BOE is committed to providing taxpayers with accessible and impartial hearings, allowing property owners the opportunity to present their evidence and seek adjustments to assessed property values. Hearings may be attended in person or virtually, and taxpayers are encouraged to submit clear, market-based evidence to support their appeal.

The Board consists of three appointed members, each representing a different district in Grays Harbor County, with support from the Clerk of the Board.

Current Board Members:

  • District 1: Liz Marriott
  • District 2: Randy Ross
  • District 3: Vacant

Important Deadlines and Notices

Current Notice
The Assessor’s 2024 property revaluation notices were mailed on November 1, 2024, with a 30-day appeal deadline of December 2, 2024. Late petitions will not be accepted unless they meet the specific criteria outlined in WAC 458-14-056(3). For more details on requesting a waiver of the filing deadline, please visit our Forms page.

As of March 31, 2025:
All timely filed petitions have been acknowledged and confirmation letters have been sent to petitioners. Please note that the appeal process can sometimes take up to a year from the time a petition is submitted to when a hearing is held. We appreciate your patience during this process.

  • You are still required to pay the property tax that is due. If an adjustment is made as a result of your appeal, the tax rolls will be updated accordingly and any reimbursement due will be issued.
  • If you filed a petition and have not received an acknowledgment, please contact the Clerk.
