Residential assessment rates

IMPORTANT: We have been receiving questions about property tax notices and the amount due. Due to Colorado legislative changes (not the 64 counties), the following applies to all property tax notices:

Dual residential assessment rates

Beginning with the 2025 property tax year, payable in 2026, Colorado law created two different residential assessment rates — one for school district taxes and one for all other local government taxes.

For the 2025 tax year (payable in 2026), the residential assessment rates are:
• 7.05% for school district taxes
• 6.25% for other local government taxes

Removal of assessed value from tax statements

Because two different assessment rates now apply to the same residential property, a single assessed value no longer accurately represents how taxes are calculated. As a result, the assessed value has been removed from the property tax statement.

This change was made to:
• Avoid confusion for taxpayers
• Ensure consistency with current Colorado property tax law
• Align with statewide guidance on presenting tax information
