How to search City and County of Denver property information
Denver combines city and county functions. Its property system provides parcel ownership, mailing data, legal description, characteristics, actual value, assessed value and tax-account actions. Use the schedule number when the address is not unique.
- Open Denver’s official property system.
- Search by address or schedule/parcel number.
- Confirm the legal description, property class, actual value and characteristics.
- Review the notice and appeal status for the correct assessment year.
- Use Treasury and Clerk/Recorder services for tax and document actions.
What the public property record can show
The exact fields depend on the property type and the selected tax year. Review the identifier and legal description before treating a result as the correct parcel.
- Schedule/parcel number
- Owner, mailing and legal-description information
- Actual and assessed values
- Residential or business characteristics
- Tax account and payment information
Use the correct office for each task

| Appeal after Assessor review | Denver County Board of Equalization | Follow the current CBOE filing and evidence instructions. |
| Search deeds and deeds of trust | Denver Clerk and Recorder | Use recorded-document services and copies. |
Assessment and valuation workflow
Colorado residential assessment begins with actual value derived from a statutory sales study and an assessment rate used to calculate assessed value. Denver does not set every taxing entity’s mill levy through the Assessor. Tax calculations can therefore change even when actual value does not.
Exemptions, reductions and tax relief
State senior and disabled-veteran exemptions, local Denver relief/refund programs and deferrals have different eligibility and application paths. Confirm whether the benefit reduces assessed value, refunds paid tax or postpones collection.
Assessment appeals and review
Denver provides an Assessor protest stage and a County Board of Equalization route. Use the Notice of Valuation and current-year instructions; an informal question or factual correction does not automatically preserve a protest.
Business personal property and biennial reappraisal
Businesses file personal-property declarations annually. Real property is reappraised on Colorado’s two-year cycle, so the sales study period and valuation date matter when selecting comparable evidence.
Correcting a property or ownership record
Use the Assessor for wrong characteristics, mailing data or valuation. Use the Clerk and Recorder for recorded instrument problems. If a zoning lot and tax parcel differ, do not request an assessment correction until the relevant land-use and recorded information is understood.
Buyer and homeowner checks
- Confirm schedule number and property class.
- Review the applicable valuation year and sales study period.
- Check senior or veteran benefits after a transfer.
- Search the Treasury account for taxes due.
- Compare recorded deeds and assessor ownership.

Does Denver reassess real property every year?
Colorado real property is reappraised on a two-year cycle in odd-numbered years, while the record and intervening-year adjustments can still change.
Can I pay Denver property tax through the Assessor?
No. The Assessor values property. Denver Treasury handles the tax account and payment.
What is a Denver schedule number?
It is the parcel/account identifier used in Denver assessment and tax systems. Use it when an address returns multiple or unclear results.
Where are Denver deeds recorded?
The Denver Clerk and Recorder records deeds of trust and other land transactions.
Is a Denver zone lot the same as an assessor parcel?
Not always. Denver warns that a zoning “zone lot” can differ from the subdivision lot, block and assessor tax parcel.
