File your taxes – again
Don’t forget! Property taxes are due April 30.
Clallam County Treasurer Selina Barkhuis is reminding Clallam County property owners that the first half of property taxes must be postmarked or dropped off at the Clallam County Courthouse by April 30 or your payment will be considered delinquent.
Another important note: there is no longer a drop-off box in Forks, which Barkhuis says is due to recent budget cuts.
The Treasurer’s Office accepts most credit and debit cards, either at the Treasurer’s Office or online at www.clallam.net/Treasurer. A convenience fee will be charged by the credit or debit card provided.
