Pierce County property tax 'valentines' are coming your way; rates to hop modestly in 2022
Feb. 14—Despite swelling home prices, Pierce County property owners can raise a modest glass to their taxes this year, which will increase slightly following several years of sizable spikes.
Countywide, property taxes will increase 5.3 percent in 2022 compared to last year, raking in $1.76 billion.
More than 60 percent of property taxes in Pierce County — state and local — support public education. City and county governments plus roads account for 20 percent, and fire districts just shy of 11 percent. A smaller portion of funding supports the Port of Tacoma, Sound Transit and flood control, as well as conservation efforts.
The Assessor-Treasurer's office will mail property owners and mortgage lenders the bills starting Feb. 15.
