The Lewis County real estate market has shown a decline in the last year, however, an overall increase will be shown in the reval notices being mailed to those living in the White Pass, Eatonville, Morton and Castle Rock (formerly Vader) School Districts. White Pass, Eatonville and Morton School Districts had a 25% overall increase in assessed value and Castle Rock School District has shown a 15% overall increase. Values have not changed in those areas since it was last reappraised four years ago other than those with new construction.
Property owners that received a property valuation mailed out for the 2010 tax year have the right to appeal their new assessed value to the Lewis County Board of Equalization.
