It is the duty of the assessor to make a fair and equitable assessment of all taxable property in the county. Our goal is to distribute the property tax burden as equally as possible according to the value of each taxpayer’s property and relative to the value of all other property within the county. Our office will continue to conduct an ongoing and thorough reappraisal program and regular field inspections of the property to achieve this goal.
All property, except that specifically exempted by law, is subject to taxation. It is the responsibility of the owner to see that it is listed with the assessor.
The Assessor’s Office is committed to providing courteous answers and helpful assistance to all inquiries regarding the valuation of land, buildings, equipment, and fixtures. Taxpayers are encouraged to become familiar with their assessments and the property tax laws in Colorado.
Important notices regarding valuation and taxes due are mailed annually to property owners. It is the property owner’s responsibility to ensure the Assessor’s Office has the correct mailing address for these notices.
Note: Tax rates are subject to change for 2026.
