Access Parkland Property Tax Records

Parkland is a census-designated place in Pierce County, and all property tax records for Parkland are administered by Pierce County. The Pierce County Assessor-Treasurer values all parcels in the Parkland area, collects taxes, and maintains the public property database. If you need to look up an assessed value, pay a tax bill, or research ownership records for a Parkland property, the Pierce County Assessor-Treasurer Information Portal (ATIP) is where you start. Property taxes are due in two installments: April 30 and October 31.

Pierce County ATIP and Parkland Property Records

The Pierce County Assessor-Treasurer Information Portal (ATIP) covers approximately 350,000 properties in Pierce County, including all parcels in the Parkland area. You can search by parcel number, property address, or taxpayer name to get current ownership information, property characteristics and improvements, assessed value, and tax information. The system also shows sales history, parcel maps, and GIS data. No account is needed for basic lookups, and the search is free.

ATIP also supports revaluation reports and lets property owners submit name or address change requests directly through the portal. Online tax payment is built into the system. You can pay your Parkland property taxes without leaving the ATIP parcel search interface.

Washington property records are public under state law. The system is governed by RCW 42.17A.230, which prohibits releasing or using lists of individuals gathered from the portal for commercial purposes. Pierce County also notes that neither the county nor the Assessor-Treasurer warrants the accuracy, reliability, or timeliness of data in the system, so verify critical information before relying on it.

Pierce County Assessor-Treasurer Office

The Pierce County Assessor-Treasurer is located at 2401 South 35th Street, Room 142, Tacoma, WA 98409. Phone: 253-798-6111. Fax: 253-798-3142. The office serves over 75 taxing districts in Pierce County, which includes the Parkland area. It collects roughly $2.1 billion per year in property taxes that go to local public services including schools, fire, emergency services, and parks.

The office combines both the valuation/assessment function and the tax collection function into one department, which makes Pierce County's system somewhat different from counties where those roles are separated. Staff run public service counters with computers, maps, and research tools available for in-person property tax and foreclosure research. The drop box outside the office accepts payments outside of business hours (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.).

Online tools include ATIP for parcel and sales searches, property tax payment, revaluation reports, and name or address change forms. Frequently asked questions about how values and tax rates are set, where taxes go, and how to apply for exemptions are answered on the department's main page.

Paying Parkland Property Taxes

Pierce County property tax statements for Parkland properties are mailed to taxpayers. Payments can be made online through ATIP, by mail, by phone via the Automated Tax and Value Information System at 253-798-3333, or in person at the Assessor-Treasurer's office. Mail payments with the remittance stub included. If the stub is missing, write the parcel number on your check. Make checks payable to Pierce County. General payments mail to: Pierce County Finance, P.O. Box 11621, Tacoma, WA 98411-6621.

For residential properties with 1 to 4 units (tax year 2023 and forward), interest accrues at 0.75% per month against the full year tax owing starting May 1 if the first half is unpaid. For all other property types, interest at 1% per month begins May 1, a 3% penalty is added June 1, and an additional 8% penalty is added December 1. That means you can hit an 11% total penalty on non-residential properties if you wait too long. Call 253-798-6111 for the exact amounts due on any Parkland parcel.

Delinquent prior-year taxes must be paid in full, including all interest and penalties. Washington is not a tax lien state, so Pierce County does not sell tax lien certificates to investors. Instead, properties that go unpaid long enough can move into the county's tax foreclosure process. See the foreclosure section for more on what happens when that occurs.

Parcel and Property Research for Parkland

Pierce County's Parcel and Property Information page links to all key research tools. It directs you to ATIP for property values and tax data. It also links to the Pierce County Auditor for recorded documents including deeds, easements, and foreclosure searches. For historical property records from 1984 to 2014, the Washington State Digital Archives is listed as an additional resource.

The county also provides an "About My Property" online tool to verify zoning information for any parcel by number or site address. For Parkland parcels in unincorporated Pierce County, the Development Center (Planning and Public Works) can answer questions about open space designations, wetland boundaries, and slope hazard restrictions. Research on foreclosure properties must be done in person at the public service counter, since staff cannot assist by mail or phone for that type of research due to staffing limits.

The Pierce County Auditor maintains recorded instruments for the county. These include deeds, mortgages, liens, and easements that may affect a Parkland property. Recorded documents are important when verifying that a property has a clear title or confirming that a lien has been released before a sale closes.

Tax Foreclosure and Parkland Properties

Properties in Pierce County that fall behind on taxes can eventually enter the tax foreclosure process. The county posts a list of properties subject to foreclosure after the amended Certificate of Delinquency is filed each year, usually available mid-to-late summer. That list is updated online as properties are redeemed and is also printed in the official county newspaper under Legal Notices.

Foreclosed properties may only be purchased from the county at the annual tax foreclosure auction, typically held in November. The 2025 auction was facilitated online through Bid4Assets on November 4, 2025. A minimum bid for each parcel must cover all taxes, interest, penalties, and foreclosure costs. Payment can only be made by wire transfer. Successful bidders receive a Treasurer's Deed without any warranty. Parcels that do not meet the minimum bid become tax title properties and may be sold at a later date. Inquiries about tax title property go to Real Property Management at 253-798-6364. The Foreclosure Department is at 253-798-2728 or pcatrfrcl@piercecountywa.gov.

If you own a Parkland property and want to avoid foreclosure, the county accepts payments specifically for foreclosure avoidance at: Pierce County Assessor-Treasurer, Attention: Foreclosure Avoidance, 2401 South 35th Street, Rm 142, Tacoma, WA 98409-1498. Call 253-798-6111 to discuss your options before the process advances further.
