Delay in property tax notice mailing

Assessment change affecting county’s software

PRESS RELEASE
January 30, 2026

Garfield County property tax notices are delayed in mailing with the application of a new dual assessment rate calculation method. While tax bills are generally in the mail on or before January 30, there is a slight delay in the mailing of the 2025 notices (payable in 2026).

House Bill 24B-1001 and Senate Bill 24-233 created a bifurcated assessment rate for residential property. This means for 2025, the school district assessment rate is 7.05 percent, while other taxing authorities are assessed at 6.25 percent. Garfield County’s software is encountering significant issues and delays with the two-method calculation used to create the tax roll.

As work progresses to troubleshoot the issue, once the treasurer’s office is notified by the printing company that the tax notices are in the mail, the Garfield County website will be updated with that information, and a new press release will be sent out.

If you would like your tax amount, visit garfieldcountyco.gov/treasurer/ and scroll down. In the “Search property taxes online” portal, enter only one of the fields and click search. Use the “Tax Payer (Public) Login” and look for your account with the “Tax Account Search” feature at the top left. Click on your account to view your payment amount.

Email the county using the email treasurer link at the bottom of the treasurer web pages or call 970-945-6382 for assistance.
