Tax Roll Data

New tax year information is generally available after January 31, and delinquent files are available year round. Download tax roll file specifications redacted (PDF). This file is available to any requestor once payment has been received.

The Whatcom County Treasurer may provide an unredacted tax roll file when the request is accompanied by a signed and notarized Declaration Regarding Commercial Purposes (PDF) and payment has been received. If your company has a form on file, you do not need to complete a new form. Download tax roll file specifications (PDF).
