Notice of Valuation
Continuing the efforts of Mark Chapin, Assessor, to ensure that Eagle County’s tax payer dollars are spent in the most effective and conscientious manner, we have chosen to use an economical postcard format for our Notices of Valuation. In order to save postage and printing costs, the postcards will outline basic property information, i.e. owner name, property location and value change.
Review your property’s account information, including an itemized listing of land and improvements, including property characteristics, through our Property Record Search site.
If you need additional assistance, please contact the Assessor’s Office at 970-328-8640 or 800-225-6136. Property Owner Rights and Responsibilities.
As a property owner and taxpayer, you have specific rights, remedies, and responsibilities in the assessment process. You have the right to examine the Assessor’s property records. If you disagree with your property value, you may file an appeal with the Assessor. You have the responsibility to provide accurate information to the Assessor about property you own, and to participate in budget hearings held by school boards, cities, towns, and special districts which levy taxes on your property.
2023 Notice of Valuation - Reappraisal Year (odd-numbered years)
Colorado law requires a two year reassessment cycle for all property. 2023 is the first, or reappraisal year of the current two year cycle. For most property, the valuation for assessment for the 2024 tax year will be the same as it was for 2023. The Assessor is required to notify you of your value each year for real property. The notice describes the property you own, gives the actual value for both the prior and current year, and provides an opportunity for you to present your objection to the Assessor.

May through June 8 of each year is set aside for the Assessor's Office to hear appeals on property valuation.
The appraisal data used to establish real property value was from the 24-month period ending June 30, 2022. If data is insufficient during this time period, assessors may use data from the five-year period ending June 30, 2022.
Your property was valued as it existed on January 1 of the current year. The "current year actual value" represents the actual value of your property. The tax notice you receive next January will be based on this value.

Your property was valued as it existed on January 1 of the current year. The "current year actual value" represents the actual value of your property. The tax notice you receive next January will be based on this value.
An assessment percentage will be applied to the actual value of your property before property taxes are calculated.
For tax year 2023, the assessment rate for residences is 6.70%, renewable energy & agricultural property 26.4%. Generally, all other property (including commercial/industrial and vacant land) are assessed at 27.90%. 39-1-104 C.R.S.
Property taxes are determined by multiplying the total actual value times the appropriate assessment rate (6.70%, 26.4% or 27.90%), to determine the assessed or taxable value. The assessed value is multiplied by the aggregate total mill levy for the property's tax area to determine total property tax amounts.
The formula for approximating your tax bill amount is as follows:

If you believe you may be ill, please do not visit our office in person. We urge you to submit real property appeals online. If unable to submit online, or in person, you may use USPS, FedEx, UPS, or fax. For an appeal to be successful, the owner should provide an appraisal dated in the six months prior to June 30, 2022, evidence of details of sales from the subject or comparable properties, or information correcting the details of the property that the Assessor may not know. A follow-up inspection of the property may be necessary.
To appeal the value of a property, the person appealing must be either the owner of record, an attorney, or an assigned agent for the owner. Examples of assigned agents are: relatives, tax consultants, presidents of corporations and managers or presidents of condominium associations. If you are appealing property as an assigned agent, please fill out a Letter of Agency and have it signed by the owner of the property. If the property is owned by a corporation or company, please fill out a Corporate Letter of Agency.
Property Comparison Tool
The purpose of this tool is to find market sales transactions to compare with the assigned actual value of a subject property. Although there may never be a perfect comparable sale, this tool can assist in reviewing the most similar sales properties to any subject property. The function of this tool is similar to the duties of the Assessor’s office staff when using the market approach to valuation.
