Capitol Property Management · Thurston County
Rental property management for Olympia homeowners, investors, and owners moving away. Capitol connects local property care, Buildium owner access, and practical planning for your next stage of ownership.
Managing in Olympia
A downtown condo, an established South Capitol home, and a larger property near Cooper Point have different operating needs. Start with the actual address, condition, ownership documents, and access arrangements rather than applying the same rental plan to every Olympia mailing address.
For an older home, document roof condition, heating, electrical systems, drainage, and any deferred work before setting a rental start date. A realistic repair reserve can be more useful than a rent estimate that ignores the building’s condition.
Review association rental restrictions, move-in procedures, parking, storage, and common-area responsibilities. The lease and owner budget should reflect the costs and rules that apply to the specific unit.
Confirm who maintains landscaping, trees, driveways, and any outbuildings. Properties outside city limits may have different utility arrangements and jurisdiction requirements despite an Olympia mailing address.
Local Owner Resources
Olympia publishes Rental Registry and landlord information resources. Confirm whether the property is within city limits and review the current registration and inspection information for the address before planning a management transition.
City limits, a mailing address, and an HOA boundary describe different things. Use the exact property address when checking which requirements and documents apply.
Owner Services
Capitol combines local management with Buildium tools for owner and resident access, rental information, and documents. Property care can be coordinated with in-house general contracting, electrical, HVAC, and local service resources.
Micah Tilley and Alycia West help lead Capitol Property Management. The agent-friendly referral model preserves an owner’s relationship with the agent who referred them when it is time to buy or sell.

Request a ConsultationPCS & Long-Distance Owners
If a PCS or other relocation takes you away from Olympia, compare net sale proceeds with a rental budget that includes vacancy, maintenance, repairs, and management. Distance makes a clear local point of contact and an agreed repair-approval process especially valuable.
Co-owner Micah Tilley served 20 years in the U.S. Army and retired in 2020. His military background connects PCS planning with the property ownership questions that follow.
Owner Questions
An Olympia mailing address does not establish that a property is inside Olympia city limits. Confirm the exact jurisdiction and review the City’s current Rental Registry and landlord resources when applicable.
Capitol’s typical management fee is 9% of monthly rent collected. Review the written agreement for included services, separate charges, reserves, repair approvals, and cancellation terms.
Share the property address, home type, occupancy, lease status, condition, HOA documents, known repairs, and desired start date. These details help the team discuss the property and a practical transition plan.
