Improvement District foreclosures

King County Treasury is responsible for billing, maintaining, and collecting assessments for improvement districts. The majority of improvement districts were formed by resolutions and/or ordinances which direct us to bill and collect certified assessment amounts to the taxpayer of record.

• Utility Local Improvement District: The due dates for annual installments are unique to each ULID/LID
• Annual Maintenance Lake and Road Improvement: These assessments are due each year on May 10 and May 31 respectively

A ULID/LID foreclosure begins after one annual installment payment is two years delinquent.

Foreclosures for Utility Local Improvement Districts (ULID) and Local Improvement Districts (LID) follow a different set of state laws and regulations.

• If you are the successful bidder on a ULID/LID foreclosed parcel, understand there is a two-year right of redemption by the current property owner.
• A certificate of purchase will be issued to the successful bidder.
• After the two year redemption period has expired, a ULID/LID deed will be issued to the successful bidder.
