RE: Cancellation of Uncollectible Mobile Home Taxes under RCW 84.56.240
Dear Members of the Board:
RCW 84.56.240 directs the County Treasurer to seek cancellation of mobile home taxes that are
uncollectible. Since taking office on January 1, 2019, diligent search and inquiry has been made and
the County Treasurer is unable to collect the mobile home taxes. For want of goods or chattels
whereupon to levy, the County Treasurer is directed to file with the County Legislative authority to
cancel said taxes from county tax rolls as uncollectible. No statement, guarantee, or representation
to the quality or diligence of activities undertaken by the previous Kittitas County Treasurer, or
prior to January 1, 2019, can be made.
Attesting to the same and requesting cancellation, attached hereto is a list of the uncollectible
mobile home taxes, see attached Exhibit A, together with an Affidavit of Uncollectible Mobile Home
Tax pursuant to RCW 84.56.240, and see attached Exhibit B.
In accordance with RCW 84.56.270, upon approval by the Board of County Commissioners by
resolution duly adopted, the Treasurer will petition the Kittitas County Superior Court to finally
cancel and extinguish the lien of said delinquent mobile home taxes currently on the county tax
rolls, which are delinquent, no longer active, and beyond hope of collection.
Sincerely,
Amy Cziske
Kittitas County Treasurer
