The Clark County process
Your deadline is printed on your own notice
The Clark County Assessor mails most Notices of Value in June and the rest in September. Only properties whose value changed get a notice. A petition to the Clark County Board of Equalization is due by July 1 or 60 calendar days after the mail date on the notice, whichever is later.
02
Build the evidence
We compare sales of similar Clark County homes around January 1 and document facts that affect what a buyer would pay.
03
File and represent
We prepare the Board of Equalization petition with a copy of your notice, submit the evidence, and handle the Board hearing.
A complete case, not a generic form
What makes a Clark County appeal persuasive
Washington assesses homes at true and fair value, which means market value on January 1. The assessor's value is presumed correct, so a big increase alone is not enough. The case must show what the home was actually worth.
Learn what evidence helps a property tax appealComparable sales
Sales of similar homes near January 1, matched by size, age, lot, and neighborhood. A Vancouver condo, a Camas home, and Battle Ground acreage need different comparisons.
Property-record accuracy
Living area, finished basement, building quality, lot size, view, and other recorded details that can raise the value when they are wrong.
Condition and local factors
Dated photos and repair estimates for deferred maintenance or damage, plus slope, access, or other features that lower what a buyer would pay.
A specific requested value
A clear estimate of true and fair value, with a short explanation of why the assessor's number is too high.
Compare the options
Filing is free. Representation is the service.
Clark County homeowners can file with the Board of Equalization on their own at no cost, online or on paper. The reason to hire Homespring is to hand off the research, evidence, filing, and hearing while keeping the fee tied to a successful result.

“Such good news! $2,515 makes a real difference when you're trying to keep the household budget steady. I forwarded the result to my daughter with about ten exclamation points.”

“I liked that I could go back and check what I'd already sent. I tend to second guess myself with this sort of thing. Everything worked out and we got a useful reduction.”

“What a nice email to open! We'd just paid for a plumbing repair, so seeing $2,265 in tax savings felt especially good. Thank you, Homespring.”

Clark County property tax appeal questions
Does Vancouver have its own property tax appeal process?
No. Homes in Vancouver, Camas, Battle Ground, Ridgefield, and the rest of the county are valued by the Clark County Assessor. Value appeals go to the Clark County Board of Equalization.
When is a Clark County property tax appeal due?
The petition is due by July 1 or within 60 calendar days of the mail date on your Notice of Value, whichever is later. Most notices mail in June, so those windows have closed for 2026. Notices mailed in September have their own 60-day deadline, so check the mail date on yours. A later mailing does not reopen a June notice.
Can I file a Clark County appeal myself?
Yes. Filing is free through the Board of Equalization's online appeal portal or on the paper petition, with a copy of your Notice of Value. You can also ask a county appraiser to check your property record first, since errors can sometimes be fixed without a hearing. Homespring is for homeowners who want the work handled for them.
What does Homespring charge?
There is no upfront fee. If Homespring lowers your property taxes, the fee is 25% of the first year's tax savings. If there are no savings, there is no fee.
What evidence helps a Clark County appeal?
Sales of similar homes close to January 1 matter most. Errors in the property record, and photos or written repair estimates showing condition problems, can also help. Washington law presumes the assessor is right, so the evidence needs to show a specific, lower market value.
Do I need to sign anything for someone to represent me?
Yes. Clark County asks homeowners to authorize a representative, either by signing the power of attorney section of the petition or the Board's Letter of Agent Authorization. If you disagree with the Board's decision, your next option is the Washington State Board of Tax Appeals.
