Taxes due today

Snohomish County property tax bills for 2010 are due today. That’s when the first half of the payment needs to be postmarked, submitted online or paid in person at the county campus or at any local Frontier Bank branch.

The physical address for the county is 3000 Rockefeller Ave., Everett, and the website is www.snoco.org, where you can find payment information by searching for “treasurer.” The second half of the tax bill is due at the end of October.
