Are Property Taxes Deductible in Washington?
Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Washington adds its own break: Senior/disabled exemption for owners 61+ or disabled; county income limits (King County up to $84,000, 2024-2026).
Homestead: qualifying seniors are fully exempt from the state school levy plus part of local levies. Washington has no income tax; seniors who miss the exemption limits may still qualify for a property tax deferral.
Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
