Why am I still paying property taxes if I have an exemption?
The amount of tax you may be exempt from paying is based on your value at the time that you apply and what level of exemption you were granted by the Yakima County Assessor's Office based on your income. It may also be based upon the acreage of your property that you receive the exemption on which only provided a partial exemption.

After the exemption is applied, you may have value that is left that creates the property tax you must pay. You may also have assessments to pay which are never included in an exemption.
