**IMPORTANT**
Good Afternoon everyone

I wanted to put this out there for anyone who has received their tax notices and noticed a much higher tax than the previous 2 years. Let's just say, legislation really dropped the ball on this. The people in 2023, voted no on prop HH, which was to give $50,000 off the actual value. Governor Polis decided to give $55,000 off anyways. Now, fast forward you are receiving your tax notices and the value not only went up due to reappraisal in May of 2025, you are no longer receiving the $55,000 off the actual value. Commercial owners received $30,000 off the actual value. If you had a home with ag-land, you did not receive the discount, unless your home is on that parcel.
I know it is frustrating-trust me. Our average sale price from 1/1/2023 to 6/30/2024 (used to value homes in 2025) was $250,000. Even if you did not remodel your home, your home went up based on those sales.

Also, if you have owned your home for 10 years, and are 65 years old as of January 1 come see us and apply for the Senior exemption--if you have already applied in the past, you do not need to reapply.

If you have any questions or concerns, please call us at 970-345-6662

Thanks

It was brought to my attention these are going around again. You do NOT need to reply. You can come to the courthouse and get the same records. This is a scam!

It has come to our attention that there could be a possible SCAM going around to Washington County Residents. We had someone file a new deed on 2/16/2023 and she received this information in the mail. DO NOT RESPOND. We are able to print you the same items for FREE. It is nothing but a cash grab. I redacted the information of the receiver. I will post the second page on another post. But please call our office if you or anyone you know happens to receive this same page.

Thanks
Hali
