Corrected 2023 Payable 2024 Property Tax Notices

Approximately 6,500 residential and commercial property owners in various parts of the county were under-charged and thus received an incomplete property tax statement.  This Letter from Director of Strategy and Budget explains in more detail the situation.  Corrected tax statements will be mailed to property owners affected by the omitted mill levies. These statements will be mailed mid to late April.  The due dates for owners that still need to pay the full amount has been extended and will be stated on the statement.  

What Did I Pay in 2023?

Note from Jefferson County Treasurer

Every tax year I receive a few calls from taxpayers asking me to lower or waive their property taxes for various reasons.  The County Treasurer does not have the legal authority to lower or waive property taxes per state law.  

If you need assistance with paying your taxes, there are programs available offered by the state of Colorado. 

If you believe your property has been incorrectly valued or classified, you may file an appeal with the Jefferson County Assessor.

Delinquent Property Taxes are Sold at the Tax Lien Sale

Every November the Treasurer’s office has an online auction for unpaid property taxes. We do not sell the property.  The taxes are purchased by investors. The investor that holds the lien will be notified every August of any unpaid taxes and can endorse those taxes to the existing lien. Owners have three years from said tax sale to payoff the lien before it becomes eligible for a Treasurer’s Deed.

Please contact our office to request the amount due. We will only accept cash or certified funds (e.g. Cashier’s Check or money order) payable to Jefferson County Treasurer for payment of a tax lien. Payments need to be received in our office by 5 p.m. the last business day of the month, postmarks are not accepted for tax liens.
