City and county records are separate routes. Kennewick Maps & GIS offers city zoning and parcel-map tools; the Benton County Assessor provides county parcel and property-search services. No address was supplied, so this page does not determine city limits, zoning, tax district, or the right parcel record for a particular house.

Local records and offices
Assessed value, unpaid taxes, recorded deeds, and court records go through different offices. Start with the property’s county or city record and the kind of notice or document in front of you.
Benton County · assessed value and county parcel information
Use the Assessor for assessed-value questions, assessment records, and county parcel or property searches. This is different from paying property taxes or recording a deed.
Kennewick office · 509-735-2394.
Benton County · property-tax collection and tax status
Use the Treasurer for property-tax statements, payments, and questions about a parcel’s tax status. Its foreclosure and distraint page covers the county’s tax-foreclosure route; confirm a property’s balance and notice status with the office.

Benton County · court documents, dockets, and case files
For a court filing, docket, or case-file question, start with the County Clerk’s official court-record route. That is separate from the Auditor’s recorded-deed search. The actual case determines the right filing and record path.

Washington sale tax
Washington calls its transfer charge real estate excise tax (REET). The seller generally pays it; if the seller does not, the buyer is responsible, and unpaid tax can become a lien. The state portion depends on taxable selling price and classification, and local REET is added, so the amount depends on the property’s location and transaction. Ask the settlement agent to confirm the current rate, any exemption, and the amount on the REET affidavit and settlement statement.
When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Washington real estate excise tax. That does not pay your mortgage, liens, back taxes, or share of current property taxes.
