From staff reports:

King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer will host King County Assessor Lloyd Hara at a town hall meeting to discuss property valuations and the services that the Department of Assessments provides to assist property owners.

The meeting will run 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, June 18, at Todd Beamer High School’s Great Room, 35999 16th Ave. S., Federal Way.

Residents of South King County are invited to learn more about their property assessments and values, available exemptions, online services and the appeals process. County employees will be on hand to answer questions.

“With the current economy’s ever changing real estate values and property taxes, it is important that our local property owners understand the correlation between specific levied taxes and local real estate values in their area,” said von Reichbauer in a news release.
