How the 2026 dates are calculated

King County states that a valuation petition is due by July 1 of the assessment year or within 60 calendar days after the value notice is mailed, whichever is later. For the published 2026 batches below, the 60-day date is later.

Confirm the parcel before filing

The table covers the mailing batches published on King County's 2026 residential schedule. A replacement notice or a parcel record outside those batches can carry a different date, so confirm the deadline shown in eAppeals.
