Auditor's Office

The Auditor’s Office consists of four distinct divisions: Animal Services, Elections & Voter Registration, Licensing, and Recording. We strive to deliver accurate, timely, kind, and efficient services to our customers.

Snohomish County Animal Services promotes responsible pet ownership through pet licensing and educational outreach, investigates animal-related complaints, enforces state and county animal laws and ordinances, and administers the pet and kennel licensing programs in unincorporated Snohomish County.

Snohomish County Elections administers primaries and elections and manages the voter registration process for Snohomish County voters.

Snohomish County Licensing, in partnership with Washington State Department of Licensing, licenses vehicles and vessels.

The Recording Division of the County Auditor’s Office is responsible for recording and maintaining real property records (including deeds, liens, and plats) in Snohomish County and issuing and recording marriage licenses for use in Washington State.
