- Property characteristics and sales data
Use the correct office for each task
| Task | Responsible office | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Find value or correct parcel characteristics | El Paso County Assessor | Use the real-property search and contact the appraisal division. |
| Pay property tax | El Paso County Treasurer and Public Trustee | Search the official tax account and use county payment options. |
| File a county valuation appeal | County Board of Equalization / Clerk to the Board | Follow the current filing window and evidence process. |
| Find deeds and plats | El Paso County Clerk and Recorder | Search recorded documents and request copies. |
Assessment and valuation workflow
Colorado’s reappraisal cycle and assessment-rate system apply. Compare the Assessor’s actual value with the correct base period and use assessed value only after applying the relevant classification rate. Special districts can materially affect the bill.
Exemptions, reductions and tax relief
Senior and disabled-veteran exemptions are state programs administered locally, while deferrals and other relief can involve the Treasurer or state. Confirm ownership, occupancy and application timing.
Assessment appeals and review
The property owner can protest to the Assessor and use the County Board of Equalization according to the current notice. Evidence should address the statutory valuation date and can include comparable sales, factual errors, condition evidence and income data for relevant properties.
County-held tax liens and public trustee functions
The Treasurer also serves as Public Trustee. Tax-lien, foreclosure and property-tax collection information therefore appears in systems that are separate from Assessor valuation records.
Correcting a property or ownership record
Submit factual property corrections to the Assessor. Submit recorded-document corrections or copy requests to the Clerk and Recorder. Use the schedule number and document reception information when connecting the two records.
Buyer and homeowner checks
- Confirm the parcel and taxing districts.
- Check whether the current year is a reappraisal year.
- Review exemptions and deferrals independently.
- Search tax status and tax liens with the Treasurer.
- Use recorded plats or surveys for boundaries.
