Start with the address
Yakima city and Yakima County have different offices
City permits, inspections, and code questions go to the City of Yakima; county assessment, tax collection, recorded-document, and probate questions go to Yakima County offices. The City lists a City Limits Map through its Planning Division. Check a specific address when city jurisdiction affects the question rather than relying on a mailing address or neighborhood name.

Places worth explaining
Yakima neighborhoods and nearby places
The City’s plans and historic materials use these local-area names for planning and orientation. They do not decide a specific property’s boundary, condition, value, or historic-review status.
Areas described in the City Housing Action Plan
East side and portions of Northeast and Southeast Yakima
The City’s June 2021 plan describes older neighborhoods east of the Yakima River to approximately 16th Avenue, including the original city, and identifies portions of Northeast and Southeast Yakima as historically significant. This is planning context, not a finding about an individual house.
City planning geography
West of Downtown
The same plan describes growth westward from Downtown and newer housing in the west. A broad area description does not establish the age, condition, or value of a particular property.
Area named in City historic-register material
Nob Hill district
The City’s local register uses “Nob Hill district” in property descriptions. The name alone does not establish that a specific address is listed or subject to historic review.
Local orientation point
Yakima Valley College Yakima Campus
Yakima Valley College identifies its Yakima Campus at South 16th Avenue and Nob Hill Boulevard. Use the property address, rather than a nearby landmark, for an office or parcel question.
Nearby municipalities in Yakima County
Selah, Union Gap, and Moxee are separate cities; Naches is a separate town. They are nearby places, not neighborhoods within Yakima city. If your house is in one of these places, use its actual address when checking which local office handles a question.
- Selah
- Union Gap
- Moxee
- Naches
Where to get help
Match the property question to the local office
Give the office the full address and the notice or record you have. A county tax record, a city permit question, and a historic-area work question are handled through different local sources.
City permits and code questions
The City’s Code Administration publishes permit and inspection information. Code Compliance covers property-maintenance complaints, including overgrown lots and unsecured vacant buildings. Check the exact address and any notice with the City.

Historic-area work
If a property may be in a historic district or overlay, ask the City whether the exact address and proposed work need review. A neighborhood name does not decide whether a review applies.

Yakima County property records and taxes
The County Assessor handles assessment questions, the Treasurer handles property-tax collection, and the Auditor’s Recording Division handles recorded documents. The County Treasurer also publishes tax-foreclosure auction information; check the current parcel record and notice for a specific status or deadline.

Wills, probate, and guardianship
The Yakima County Clerk of Superior Court provides Wills, Probate & Guardianship information. Use the estate papers and the Clerk’s current instructions for a question about who may act for a property.
How selling works
Get written terms before you decide
Start with the address, what needs work, who lives there, and the timing that matters to you. We give written cash offers in 24 hours. You receive written offer and written terms before you commit; closing is through a title company. Call to talk about a Yakima or Yakima County house.
Three simple steps
1
Tell us about your house
Share the address, what needs work and who lives there. Tell us when we can see it and when you want to sell.
2
Get your offer
We give written cash offers in 24 hours.
3
Close
You get a written offer and written terms before you commit, and we close through a title company.
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.
Selling choices
Compare the market context with what you would keep
Use the Yakima market report for dated market context and the calculator to compare a listing with an as-is cash sale using your own costs. A market figure is not a price or offer for a particular house.
Zillow’s current typical home-value measure is $358,493 (As of September 2026; Zillow typical home value for Yakima, WA). It describes the market, not an individual property.

Yakima neighborhood and selling questions
Questions about Yakima places, offices, and selling
Does a Yakima mailing address mean a house is inside Yakima city limits?
Not necessarily. The City lists a City Limits Map through its Planning Division. Check the address with the City when a city permit, inspection, or code question matters; a mailing or neighborhood name is not a parcel-level jurisdiction check.
Are Selah, Union Gap, Moxee, and Naches Yakima neighborhoods?
No. Yakima County lists Selah, Union Gap, and Moxee as separate cities and Naches as a separate town. They are nearby places in Yakima County, not neighborhoods within the City of Yakima.
Does a Nob Hill or Naches Avenue label show that a house has historic restrictions?
No. The City publishes a local register and a Naches Avenue Historic Overlay resource, but an area label does not determine whether a particular address or proposed project needs review. Ask the City about the exact address and work.
Which local office handles a Yakima property question?
For city permits or code concerns, start with Yakima City Code Administration or Code Compliance and confirm the address is in the city. Yakima County’s Assessor handles assessment, the Treasurer handles property-tax collection, the Auditor’s Recording Division handles recorded documents, and the Clerk of Superior Court provides probate information.
Can you buy a house as-is in Yakima and Yakima County?
Yes. We buy houses as-is, in any condition — no repairs, no cleaning, no cleanout required to sell to us. We buy in Yakima and Yakima County, Washington.
When will I get a written cash offer?
We'll give you a written cash offer within 24 hours.
