Submitted by the San Juan County Economic Development Council

The San Juan County Economic Development Council and attorney Mary Schmitt will present a workshop on the New Homestead Exemption Monday, Feb. 28 at noon via Zoom.

The Homestead Statute was amended last year in response to the substantial increase in home values in the State of Washington. This may help San Juan County homeowners and small business owners who are facing financial difficulty. The Homestead Exemption can protect homeowners in the event of bankruptcy.

The workshop will be held on Monday, Feb. 28 at noon via Zoom.
