Every year, a portion of your hard-earned income or pension goes to payment of your property tax.
While taxes are used to fund hospitals, State schools, or health care services, sometimes this expense is too much.
However, there’s a way for you to legally reduce the payment on your property tax. And we will show you how to find out if you qualify.
Adams County has tax reduction programs for homeowners who are seniors and disabled persons.
If you are at least 61 years old, you may qualify for a tax reduction in your property taxes on your primary residence. Beginning 2024, if your income is $41,000 or less, you may be eligible for a property tax discount. Schedule a quick consultation with us today and we will help you receive this benefit fast.
If you are a veteran with an 80% service-connected disability and with an income that does not exceed $41,000 starting 2024, you may also be entitled to a reduction on your property tax payment.
Payment for the full taxes on your property are due in April every year. If you fail to pay, your taxes are delinquent. Delinquent taxes are charged with an interest rate of 12% per annum, plus penalties of up to 11%.
If you have delinquent taxes for three years, you property will be foreclosed. You do not want this to happen.
Failing to take advantage of the tax relief programs when you’re in fact qualified is wasting an opportunity. You could have used that extra money for something that is more beneficial to you. Get an appointment with us today and we’ll help you get this benefit.

National Protected Areas
Columbia National Wildlife Refuge (Part)
Pictured above is Columbia National Wildlife Refuge, where a part of it is located in Adams County. It is a scenic mixture of rugged cliffs, canyons, lakes, and sagebrush grasslands3https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbia_National_Wildlife_Refuge. Formed by fire, ice, floods, and volcanic tempest, carved by periods of extreme violence of natural forces, the refuge lies in the middle of the Drumheller Channeled Scablands of central Washington. The area reveals a rich geologic history highlighted by periods of dramatic activity, each playing a major role in shaping the land. The northern half of the refuge, south of Potholes Reservoir, is a rugged jumble of cliffs, canyons, lakes, and remnants of lava flows. This part of the Scablands, known as the Drumheller Channels, is the most spectacularly eroded area of its size in the world and was designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1986.
Hanford Reach National Monument (Part)
The Hanford Reach National Monument is a national monument in the U.S. state of Washington. It was created in 2000, mostly from the former security buffer surrounding the Hanford Nuclear Reservation. The area has been untouched by development or agriculture since 1943. Because of that it is considered an involuntary park4https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanford_Reach_National_Monument.
