Useful offices

Port Angeles and Clallam County: which office does what

Assessment, property taxes, deeds, and court files are separate tasks. Bring the property address, parcel number, notice, or case details when you contact an office; it can point you to the current record or process for that question.

Clallam County Assessor

Clallam County · assessed value, parcel maps, and property records

Ask the Assessor about assessed value, parcel maps, and property-record questions. Assessment is separate from property-tax collection and recorded deeds.

360-417-2400 · 223 E. 4th Street, Suite 2, Port Angeles, WA 98362.

Clallam County Treasurer

Clallam County · property-tax payments and real estate excise tax (REET)

Use the Treasurer for property-tax account and payment questions, and its REET document-review route for a sale. The County separately posts tax-foreclosure sale information; check the parcel and current notice for its status.

360-417-2344 · 223 E. 4th Street, Suite 3, Port Angeles, WA 98362.

Clallam County Auditor, Recording Division

Clallam County · deeds and recorded real-estate documents

Use the Recording Division for deeds, recorded land documents, and the County public-record search. A recorded document is not by itself a property-specific title conclusion.

Clallam County Superior Court Clerk

Clallam County Superior Court · probate, guardianship, and court-file questions

Clallam County Community Development (DCD)

Clallam County · planning, zoning, building permits, and code enforcement

For a property under County jurisdiction, ask DCD about County planning, zoning, building permits, and code-enforcement routes. County long-range planning covers unincorporated areas, so check the actual parcel before choosing a jurisdiction.

City of Port Angeles Building Division and Permit Center

City of Port Angeles · city building permits, inspections, and property-history records

City of Port Angeles Code Enforcement

City of Port Angeles · municipal public-nuisance complaints

Use the City’s Code Enforcement page for its municipal public-nuisance complaint options. Confirm that the property is inside City limits and use the contact options on the City page.

The City page lists current complaint and contact options.

Helpful Washington rule

Check the real estate excise tax on the settlement statement

Washington generally assigns real estate excise tax (REET) to the seller. The state portion is graduated by taxable sale price and classification, and local REET is added, so the exact 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. Mortgage balances, liens, back taxes, and your share of current property taxes remain separate amounts; ask the settlement agent to show them separately.

Port Angeles and Clallam County resource questions

Which Clallam County office handles a property’s assessed value?

Use the Clallam County Assessor for assessed value, parcel maps, and property-record questions. The Treasurer handles property-tax accounts and payments; the Auditor handles recorded land documents.

Where do I check unpaid property taxes or a County tax-foreclosure notice?

Start with the Clallam County Treasurer for the property-tax account and its tax-foreclosure sales page for current County sale information. Verify the parcel and notice directly with the County.

Where do I look for a deed or a court judgment?

Use the Auditor’s Recording Division for deeds and recorded land documents. For a Superior Court case, order, or judgment record, contact the Superior Court Clerk about the court-file route. A title professional can explain how records apply to the specific property.

Which office handles permits or code questions for my property?

The City of Port Angeles Building Division and Code Enforcement handle their respective City routes for properties inside City limits. Clallam County Community Development handles County planning, zoning, building-permit, and code-enforcement routes. Use the City planning and County map links above to check the actual parcel; a Port Angeles mailing address alone does not determine jurisdiction.

Who pays Washington real estate excise tax when a house is sold?

Washington generally assigns real estate excise tax (REET) to the seller. The state and local amounts depend on the transaction and property location, so ask the settlement agent to confirm the current rate and amount.
