Title Info: Walla Walla County Assessor, Real Property Record Cards, 1969-2002

This series includes Real Property Record Cards created by the Walla Walla County Assessor, 1969-2002. These are bulk dates; the actual content of an individual card will span only some of these years. Real Property Record Cards were created by the Walla Walla County Assessor’s Office to capture the assessed valuation of land and buildings for the purpose of real property taxation. The records were updated each time an appraisal was completed, typically on a four to six year cycle, and older information was sometimes erased. When cards were worn or damaged, the most recent information was copied to a new card.

The best way to access the cards is by parcel number. Addresses are also searchable, but many cards did not include the address information, and so such a search is less reliable. Legal description was not captured in indexing these records, because the records do not provide standardized legal description information. Researchers are encouraged to refer to the Spokane County Assessor’s web site to convert address information into parcel numbers.
