Bothell property management costs 8% of monthly rent with RexMont (10% for Premium Property Management) plus a $600 leasing fee, single-family homes rent for $2,900 to $4,200, and the city's edge is stability: biotech payrolls at Canyon Park, 11,000 students and staff at UW Bothell, and dual-county commuter demand produce steady leasing without the volatility of the urban cores. I'm Adriano Tori, Designated Broker of RexMont Real Estate — Seattle and the Eastside's most-reviewed brokerage. Bothell is where Eastside cash flow actually pencils: the most accessible single-family price point of the core cities, reliable tenant pools, and a county-line quirk that trips up self-managers and out-of-area PM firms alike. This page covers the market, the rules on both sides of the line, and how our integrated brokerage + management model works here.
The Bothell rental market in 2026
Bothell's tenant demand is unusually diversified for a suburb. The Canyon Park biotech corridor — Pfizer's Seagen operation, Philips, AGC Biologics, and the lab ecosystem around them — supplies career professionals on multi-year stints. UW Bothell and Cascadia College anchor a student, faculty, and staff pool of over 11,000 that re-leases on an annual academic rhythm. And the I-405 spine (with Stride bus rapid transit coming) makes Bothell the practical middle point for households splitting commutes between Seattle and the Eastside.
Typical 2026 monthly rents by segment:
- Single-family homes (3–4BR): $2,900–$4,200; newer North Creek and Westhill homes above $4,000
- One-bedroom apartments and condos: $1,850–$2,200
- Two-bedroom apartments and condos: $2,340–$2,760
- Townhomes: $2,700–$3,600
The 2026 story is stability, not spikes: rents roughly flat year-over-year, moderate inventory, and a market that leases well-priced units efficiently while overpriced ones sit. For investors, that profile — lower entry price, dependable tenant pools, Northshore School District pull — is why Bothell consistently produces the best rent-to-price ratios of the cities we manage.
Two counties, one city — and why it matters to your lease
Bothell straddles the King–Snohomish county line, and the side your property sits on determines which superior court hears an eviction, which county recording and assistance programs apply, and how certain local processes run. State law is identical on both sides — RCW 59.18, the 2026 rent cap of 9.683% (10% for 2027) on covered tenancies under HB 1217, the first-12-month increase freeze, 90-day notice on the state form, 14-day pay-or-vacate under RCW 59.18.057, trust-account deposit handling with 30-day itemized returns, and source-of-income protections. We run the state stack as documented workflow and the county layer by address, so nothing gets filed in the wrong courthouse or served on the wrong timeline.
On short-term rentals, Bothell is one of the lighter-touch cities: no municipal STR ordinance as of 2026, so Washington's statewide framework (RCW 64.37) governs — state registration, safety disclosures, liability insurance, lodging taxes — plus whatever your HOA says, which is usually the real constraint. Our honest read: Bothell's nightly-rate demand is thin compared to Seattle's tourist core, and a furnished 30+ day rental aimed at traveling biotech and healthcare professionals — or a standard long-term lease — nets better for most owners with a fraction of the turnover cost. We manage all three models and will show you your property's numbers side by side.
Placement, maintenance, reporting — and the annual exit check
Screening runs the same documented pipeline on every applicant: credit pull targeting 680+, income at 3x rent, direct employer verification, two past-landlord references, eviction search, and background within Washington-permitted scope — applied identically whether the applicant is a Seagen scientist, a UW Bothell lecturer, or a dual-commuter household. Maintenance runs 24/7 through a vetted Northend trade network with photo-documented work orders and owner-approval thresholds. Monthly statements and tax-preparer-ready year-end packets close the loop.
Once a year we run the renew-vs-relist-vs-sell analysis: tenant quality, market-rent delta, and cap rate against a current brokerage-side valuation. Bothell's strong rent-to-price ratio means holding often wins here longer than in the premium cities — and when the math flips, the same team runs the sale or 1031 exchange with your full property history in hand.
What property management costs in Bothell
RexMont manages a Bothell house for a $600 leasing fee plus 8% of rent collected ($200 monthly minimum, waived while vacant): on a $3,000 Bothell house that is $240 a month, $3,480 in a year with a new tenant and $2,880 in a year the same tenant stays, with no renewal fee. Premium Property Management, at 10% of rent collected ($300 a month on the same house), adds an in-person inspection every six months with a photo report, an annual condition report, utility and HOA bill pay, make-ready coordination and same-day owner calls. Owners who want the tenant found and placed only pay 75% of one month's rent ($2,250 at that rent) through the Leasing-Only Service and run the tenancy themselves.
What Bothell owners are quoted elsewhere (market range, not RexMont's price): full-service firms quote 8%–12% of rent plus 50%–100% of a month to place a tenant, flat-fee services $129–$250 a month with leasing billed separately, and the quotes that look identical stop being identical at the renewal fee, the setup fee and the maintenance markup. The fee models side by side, the hidden-fee checklist and a calculator at your rent are on the Seattle property management fees guide; the schedule is the same in every city we manage.
Rental property management in Bothell
Rental property management in Bothell with RexMont covers the whole year of a single-family lease for a $600 leasing fee plus 8% of rent collected: on a $3,000 Bothell house, $240 a month and $3,480 in a year with a new tenant. The leasing fee buys the lease-up: pricing off live NWMLS rental data, marketing and showings, screening to one written standard, the lease, the move-in funds and the signed condition report. The monthly fee buys the year: rent collection and monthly statements, maintenance dispatch with 24/7 emergency response, quarterly tenant check-ins, the renewal and its notice, the move-out inspection and the deposit disposition. Rent-increase notice in Bothell: the state's 90 days' written notice on the state form (RCW 59.18.140); Bothell has no local notice ordinance. Nothing on either list is billed separately, and there is no renewal fee. Premium Property Management, at 10% of rent collected ($300 a month on the same house), adds an in-person inspection every six months with a photo report, an annual condition report, utility and HOA bill pay, make-ready coordination between tenants and same-day calls with the owner.
The side of the King\u2013Snohomish county line your house sits on decides which superior court hears an eviction and which county programs apply; state law is identical on both sides, and we run the county layer by address so nothing is filed in the wrong courthouse or served on the wrong timeline.
The full schedule, with the fee models Bothell owners are quoted beside it (market range, not RexMont's price), is on what property management costs in Bothell; the rules behind every notice are on the Washington rent-increase cap and notice rules. Owners who want the lease-up only pay 75% of one month's rent through the tenant placement services page.

FAQ
Bothell property management — frequently asked questions
What does Bothell property management cost?
RexMont's Bothell management fee is 8% of monthly rent collected, with a $600 leasing fee, a $200 monthly minimum, and no management fee while the home is vacant. On a $3,000/month Bothell house that is $240/month, or $3,480 in the first year including the leasing fee; Premium Property Management at 10% is $300/month, or $4,200 in the first year, and adds an in-person inspection every six months with a photo report, an annual condition report, utility and HOA bill pay, make-ready coordination between tenants and same-day owner calls. Owners who only want tenant finding and placement and plan to self-manage can choose the Leasing-Only Service at 75% of one month's rent ($2,250 at that rent). Every fee is shown in writing before you sign.
What does Bothell rent look like in 2026?
Bothell single-family homes (3–4BR) typically rent for $2,900–$4,200 — the most accessible SFH price point of the core Eastside cities — with newer North Creek and Westhill homes pushing past $4,000. One-bedroom apartments run $1,850–$2,200, two-bedrooms $2,340–$2,760, and townhomes $2,700–$3,600. Rents are roughly flat year-over-year: a stability market, not a growth-spike market, which rewards low vacancy and long tenancies.
Who rents in Bothell?
Three durable pools: the Canyon Park biotech corridor (Pfizer/Seagen, Philips, AGC Biologics and the ecosystem around them), UW Bothell and Cascadia College — the largest UW branch campus with roughly 11,000 students plus faculty and staff — and dual-county commuters working both Seattle and the Eastside via I-405. Student and university-staff demand gives downtown and Maywood rentals a reliable annual leasing rhythm most suburbs don't have.
My Bothell property is in Snohomish County — does that change anything?
Yes, and it's a detail self-managing owners miss: Bothell straddles King and Snohomish counties, and the county line changes which superior court hears an unlawful detainer, which recording office and county programs apply, and some local assistance and mediation processes. State law (RCW 59.18, the 2026 rent cap, deposit rules) is identical on both sides. We manage on both sides of the line and file in the right courthouse the first time.
Can I run my Bothell house as a short-term rental?
Bothell has no city-specific STR ordinance as of 2026, so Washington's state framework (RCW 64.37) is the rulebook: state business registration, consumer-safety requirements, liability insurance, and lodging taxes. That's more open than Kirkland or Bellevue — but check your HOA first, and run the math honestly: Bothell's nightly-rate demand is thinner than Seattle's tourist core, and for most properties a long-term lease or a furnished 30+ day rental for traveling biotech and healthcare professionals nets better with far less volatility. We'll show you both numbers.
Can RexMont sell my Bothell rental when I'm ready?
Yes. When you're ready to sell or 1031-exchange, the same team that holds your maintenance ledger, tenant history, and condition documentation runs the listing. PM-only companies refer you out to a broker at exit; we are the broker.
What does rental property management in Bothell include?
Everything in a single-family lease year, for a $600 leasing fee plus 8% of rent collected ($200 monthly minimum, waived while vacant): rental price analysis and positioning, marketing and showings, weekly leasing updates, screening (credit, background, employment and rental history), the state-compliant lease, move-in funds and deposit accounting, the signed move-in condition report, then owner and tenant portals, monthly rent collection and statements, maintenance dispatch with 24/7 emergency response, quarterly tenant check-ins, annual tax reporting, lease-expiration and statutory notices (the state's 90 days' written notice on the state form (RCW 59.18.140); Bothell has no local notice ordinance), the move-out inspection and the deposit disposition. On a $3,000 Bothell house that is $210 a month and $3,120 in a year with a new tenant; nothing on the list is billed separately.
