Current News and Information

2009 is a reappraisal year in the State of Colorado.

Shortly after May 1, 2009, you will receive a Notice of Valuation (NOV) for each property you own in Pueblo County.  The value listed on your NOV is the NEW 2009 Market Value the Assessor currently lists for your property. Please bear in mind that Colorado State Statute 39-1-104(12.3)(a) allows that the data-gathering period used to estimate the value of property for 2009 value shall be the 18-month period running from January 1, 2007 through June 30, 2008...

...Therefore, 2008 (taxes due in 2009), has a "base year" of 2007.Only properties having sold within this 18-month time frame may be used as comparables when estimating a market value!

A protest is not a complaint about higher taxes.  It is an attempt to prove that the estimated market value placed on your property is either inaccurate or unfair.

Pursuant to Colorado State General Property Tax Law, the duty of the Assessor is to “discover, list, and value” all real property.  The Assessor’s Office is required to appraise all real property and to estimate the value for ad valorem taxation purposes.

Land and Improvements:  Colorado statute define Improvements as “all structures, buildings, fixtures, fences, and water rights erected upon or affixed to land, whether or not title to such land has been acquired.” 39-1-102(7), C.R.S. 

The Personal Property Tax:  The Colorado personal property tax is a levy on personal property used in a business or organization.  The procedure for applying this tax is similar to that used for real property.  The Assessor estimates a value for the property and consolidates the levies; the Treasurer then mails a tax bill to the property owner.
