RE: Cancellation of Uncollectible Personal Property Taxes under RCW 84.56.240
Dear Members of the Board:
RCW 84.56.240 directs the County Treasurer to seek the cancellation of Personal Property Taxes
that are uncollectible. Since taking office, diligent searches and inquiries have been made and the
County Treasurer is unable to collect the Personal Property 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
of the quality or diligence of activities undertaken by the previous Kittitas County Treasurer, or
prior to January I,2019, can be made.
Attesting to the same and requesting cancellation, attached hereto is a list of the Uncollectible
Personal Property Taxes, see attached Exhibit A, together with an Affidavit of Uncollectible
Personal Property Taxes 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 Personal Property Taxes currently on the county
tax rolls, which are delinquent, no longer active, and beyond hope of collection.
Sincerely,
Amy
Kittitas County Treasurer
