Property tax relief for qualifying nonprofits

The law takes effect July 27, 2025, and applies to property taxes collected in 2026 and later. Qualifying Washington nonprofit-owned property stays tax-exempt when loaned, leased, or rented to eligible governments, tribes, or other nonprofits. Eligible users include federal, Washington state, county, and municipal governments, plus federally recognized tribes located in Washington. The property must provide services that build character or offer care, protection, or rehabilitation to people of all ages. Selling donated goods also counts as an exempt use when the proceeds support the selling organization's purposes listed in law. Except for uses allowed by law, exempt property must be used only for its qualifying purposes.
