If you own a home or commercial property in Lynnwood and need to look up your assessed value, check your tax bill, or find recorded documents, this page walks you through the tools and offices that handle that information. The City of Lynnwood receives a small share of the total property tax collected from residents. Most of the revenue goes to the Edmonds School District, Washington State, and other districts.

How Lynnwood Sets Its Property Tax Levy

The City of Lynnwood adopted a property tax levy of $7.2 million for 2025, resulting in a city levy rate of approximately $0.67 per $1,000 of assessed value. The city has an estimated $3.2 million in banked levy capacity, meaning it held back some of its allowable increases in prior years. Based on an estimated 3% assessed valuation increase, the average homeowner in Lynnwood was expected to see a city property tax increase of about $144 per year, or $12 per month.

In 2022, the total property tax levy rate in Lynnwood was $8.97 per $1,000, spread across multiple districts. The breakdown at that time was: Edmonds School District $3.19, Washington State Schools $2.67, Regional Fire Authority $1.35, Snohomish County $0.60, City of Lynnwood General Levy $0.53, Sno-Isle Library $0.39, Regional Transit Authority $0.18, and Hospital District $0.06. Rates change year to year as each district adopts its own levy.

Lynnwood households pay on average between $4,450 and $5,300 in total property tax per year, but the city receives less than $300 of that. The rest goes to schools, the state, and other taxing districts. The City Council voted in some prior years not to take the full 1% increase allowed under state law, choosing instead to hold the rate steady. This is a common practice among Washington cities that are cautious about long-term levy growth.

In terms of overall city revenue, sales tax is far more significant than property tax. Lynnwood generates about 21% of all Snohomish County sales tax while representing less than 5% of the county population. Utility taxes on city-billed water, sewer, and stormwater add about $7 per household per month to city revenues.

Snohomish County Assessor and Lynnwood Parcels

All Lynnwood property assessments are handled by the Snohomish County Assessor's Office. The Assessor sets values for all taxable real and personal property in the county and calculates levy rates for each taxing district. An online Property Summary Search is available where you can look up any Lynnwood parcel by parcel number or address.

The Customer Service Center is at 3000 Rockefeller Ave, Everett, WA 98201. Main phone: 425-388-3433. Residential Appraisal: 425-388-6555. Commercial: 425-388-3390. Exemptions: 425-388-3540. The 2024 senior exemption income limit was raised to $75,000 in disposable income for qualifying applicants. You can also request Destroyed Property Claim Forms if your property was damaged by fire or another event, which may lead to an assessment reduction and tax abatement.

Business personal property must be reported annually to the county assessor under RCW 84.40.185. The Assessor's office provides online eFile for business personal property tax filings. The SCOPI interactive mapping tool and static TRSQ maps are also available through the Assessor for parcel research.

Washington's personal property tax rules apply to businesses in Lynnwood and are administered locally by the Snohomish County Assessor under state guidelines.

SCOPI Map Tool for Lynnwood Property Lookups

The Snohomish County SCOPI tool is a free interactive web map for finding and viewing property information. Search by parcel number or street address. When you select a Lynnwood parcel, the map shows the Parcel ID, property address, owner name, taxpayer name, gross acres, market value, and tax code area number.

The Property Account Summary link inside SCOPI opens a detailed report with sales history, property tax history, legal descriptions, and structure data. This is the most complete online view of a Lynnwood parcel. Shared Interest Parcels, such as condominium common areas, display differently than standard parcels in SCOPI. These are common elements owned by multiple property owners and are not separately taxable in the normal way.

Lynnwood property owners who disagree with their assessed value can appeal first to the Snohomish County Board of Equalization and then to the Washington State Board of Tax Appeals.
