Thurston County, Washington

Assessor

The Thurston County Assessor, Steven J. Drew, is responsible for identifying, locating, and fairly valuing all real or personal property within the county for tax purposes. The "market" value of real property is based on the current real estate market. Finding the "market" value of your property means discovering the price most people would pay for your property in its current condition. Determining a fair and equitable value is the primary role of this office in the taxing process.

In 2014, our office was one of 26 jurisdictions out of 13,000 assessment jurisdictions in the United States to be awarded the Certificate of Excellence in Assessment Administration (CEAA) by the International Association of Assessor Officials (IAAO).

This certificate recognizes our outstanding achievement of meeting the requirements for the CEAA, exceeding the guidelines as established for this award by the IAAO in property assessment administration practices.

In 2020, our office received a recertification from the IAAO, demonstrating our ongoing commitment to maintaining these high standards in assessing property, assuring that we are doing as much as we can to achieve fairness and equity in the property tax system.
