For bankruptcy petitions filed in 2026, the homestead exemption in Clark County is approximately $555,000 — the 2025 countywide median single-family home price under RCW 6.13.030.
Vancouver, Camas, and Battle Ground homeowners can protect up to that amount of home equity when filing Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy — enough to cover virtually every homeowner in Southwest Washington.
Clark County cases are filed in the Western District of Washington. The exemption resets each January based on the prior year's median, so your petition date determines the applicable figure.
This page is general legal information, not legal advice, and does not create an attorney-client relationship. Exemption figures were verified against official sources in August 2026; inflation-adjusted amounts (including Arizona's Prop 209 figures and county median homestead values) are computed estimates that change annually and should be confirmed by an attorney for your petition date.
