The Klickitat County Commission approved its budget for 2025 along with the property tax levies for the year. The budget represents a 10% reduction from the 2024 amended budget, with the property tax levy amount the County receives moving up by 1% as outlined in state law. Commissioner Jacob Anderson pointed out that most property appraisals are up, which will impact the tax bills owners receive. Anderson added the Commission’s actions to approve the budget and the levy have no impact on assessed property value.
