1994 General Information about Boulder County

ASSESSMENT INFORMATION

For 1995-96, property is appraised at the 1994 actual value. The Colorado Legislature sets the assessment rate for residential property. The 93-94 residential rate was 12.86%. The 95-96 residential rate will be finalized by the State Legislature in 1995 and is projected to be 10.5%. All other property is assessed at 29%.

1995 ASSESSMENT APPEALS

Notices of valuation are mailed May 1 to all land and building owners. Business personal property notices of valuation are mailed by June 15. The Assessor hears objections concerning land and building valuation beginning May 1 and concluding June 1.

If your 1995 valuation varies significantly from what you feel your property was worth in June 1994, please notify us. We are always willing to answer questions pertaining to property assessments.

Our goal is equalization of assessments so that the burden of taxes may be distributed as fairly and equally as the law allows.
