Find the help that matches the question

Spokane City and Spokane County offices handle different records and questions. Use the address and notice in front of you to choose the right jurisdiction. If you are comparing sale options, our local pages cover common situations and ways to sell a house as-is.

Local offices

Spokane County and City of Spokane contacts

Assessment, property-tax collection, court matters, and City code questions are different tasks. Start with the office that matches the record or notice.

Spokane County Superior Court

Spokane County · Superior Court matters

Use the Washington Courts directory for contact information about a Spokane County Superior Court matter. A court question is separate from property valuation and county property-tax collection.

The directory lists 1116 W Broadway Ave, Spokane, WA 99260-0350 and 509-477-5790.

Spokane County Clerk

Spokane County · court contact

The Washington Courts directory lists the County Clerk separately from Superior Court. Use the directory to confirm the right contact for a court-file or judgment question.

The directory lists 1116 W Broadway Ave, Room 300, Spokane, WA 99260-0090 and 509-477-2211.

City of Spokane Code Enforcement

City of Spokane only · city code questions and complaints

For a property inside Spokane city limits, use the City’s Code Enforcement pages for code questions and complaints. A Spokane County mailing address outside the City may fall under a different municipality.

The City lists 311 for general code questions and 509-755-CITY (2489) for callers outside city limits.

The City’s long-term rental registry page describes a program for residential rentals of 30 days or more and periodic inspections. Check the exact address with the City; the page alone does not establish that a particular property is covered.

Local rules to check

Tax and City-program details can change the next step

Washington real estate excise tax

Washington calls its transfer tax real estate excise tax (REET). The Department of Revenue says the seller generally pays it; if the seller does not pay, the buyer is responsible and unpaid tax can become a lien on the property. The state portion is graduated by taxable selling price and classification, and local REET is added, so the exact amount depends on the property and transaction.

The closing agent confirms 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 are separate from that promise.

Check current City code information

Spokane’s municipal-code page marks SMC §17F.070.520, “Foreclosure Registration Program,” as repealed, effective August 20, 2025. If an older City update is part of the question, check with Code Enforcement about the current City contact for the property rather than treating that named program as active.

Spokane and Spokane County resource questions

Which Spokane County office handles property value or unpaid property taxes?

Washington DOR identifies county assessors as valuation and assessment contacts, and county treasurers as collection contacts. Use the Spokane County Assessor for assessed-value questions and the Treasurer for property-tax collection questions; they are different tasks.

Where should I start with a Spokane County court case or judgment?

The Washington Courts directory lists Spokane County Superior Court at 509-477-5790 and the Spokane County Clerk at 509-477-2211. Use the directory to confirm which contact fits your case or court-file question. Court matters are separate from Assessor valuation and Treasurer tax accounts.

Are a deed, property assessment, tax account, and court judgment the same record?

No. A property assessment, a county tax account, a deed, and a court judgment answer different questions. For a deed copy or recording question, ask the title or closing professional handling the transaction which recorded-land-document source applies to the property; use the Spokane County court directory for court contacts, not as a deed-recording guide.

Who generally pays Washington real estate excise tax when a house sells?

Washington DOR says the seller generally pays real estate excise tax (REET). If the seller does not pay, the buyer is responsible and unpaid tax can become a lien on the property. The exact amount depends on the property and transaction, so the closing agent confirms the current rate, any exemption, and the amount. When you sell to us, we pay the closing costs, including Washington real estate excise tax.

Does the City of Spokane rental registry cover my property?

The City page describes a long-term rental registry for residential rentals of 30 days or more and periodic inspections. Check the exact address with the City; the page does not establish whether a particular property or transaction is covered.
