[WSBARP] Abandonment of newly submerged lands

[Kary Krismer]

Wouldn’t it just be a valuation issue?  The property would be worth less and thus taxed less?

There are a number of lots that are platted out into the water.

Has anyone ever dealt with abandonment or relinquishment of lands that have become submerged over time? The client would like to stop paying property tax on property which is now wholly underwater. Any thoughts will be appreciated. An up and coming global warming issue?

Thanks,
