I had a client who passed away on February 3, 2014. He had lived in
his house for a couple of decades and had a senior exemption on the
property taxes. When he passed away, he was current in his tax
payments. We opened the estate, sold his property, made the
distributions and closed it down. I received a call from the title
company yesterday informing me that Snohomish County has now denied
the senior exemption for 2013 and 2014 and instituted the back due
taxes. While I have seen them cancel the senior exemption as of the
date of death, I have not seen them go back to a prior year and
retroactively deny it (especially since he was alive the entirety of
2013 and his taxes were timely paid). Can anyone point me in the
direction of any RCW or WACs that would give them this authority? <br>
