Change in Ownership - If you sold your property in 2021 and received a tax notice, please disregard it. The property tax records are updated by the Assessor's office and they are currently working on documents that were recorded in December of 2021. Taxes follow the property so once our records are updated we will notify the new owner. If you are the new owner and the records have not been transferred into your name, you can still pay the taxes.
Name Corrections or Mailing Address Changes - Please visit the Assessors page or call 303-271-8600
Increase in Taxes Due:
Property taxes are determined by the property value. In 2021 the Assessor's office sent new notices of valuation. Most property owners should expect an increase in their taxes from last year. For information about your property value visit the Assessor Property Records Search site or call 303-271-8600.
