2025 Property Tax Update – State Law, Not the County
All 2025 property tax changes are due to Colorado legislation (HB 24B-1001). Counties, including Lincoln County, are required to implement the law as written.
What’s Changing in 2025 (Payable 2026):
Two Residential Assessment Rates
• Local government (non-school): 6.25%
• School district: 7.05%
Because the school rate is higher, tax bills may increase even if your property value did not.
No Assessed Value on 2025 Tax Bills
• New state calculation rules mean assessed value will not appear on the bill.
No Value Reduction in 2025
• Prior reductions were eliminated:
o $55,000 residential reduction — removed
o $30,000 commercial reduction — removed
Delayed Tax Bills Expected
• Counties statewide are delaying 2025 bills due to required system and software changes under the new law.
Why Many Bills Are Higher
• School district rate is higher than local government rate
• School districts are not subject to the same revenue limits
• Schools make up the largest portion of most tax bills
Looking Ahead to 2026 (Payable 2027):
• New assessment rates again
• 10% exemption on the first $700,000 of residential value
This should provide some relief for most homeowners
Bottom Line: These changes are mandated by the State of Colorado, not the County.
