In 2023, Colorado experienced the most impactful property values reassessment in state history, resulting in a historic property tax increase statewide.
While the County Assessor is responsible for discovering, listing, classifying, and valuing all property in the county, property value reassessment is a state-controlled process implemented at the County level, and many state laws regulate these determinations.
County Governments do have the power to reduce the County’s Mill Levy, and Douglas County did so by returning a historic $37.8 million in tax relief without a reduction in County services while investing a historic $10.2 million in public safety.
The first round of relief checks were mailed to property owners who had paid property taxes in full in July. A second refund mailing will be issued in early October for those who have paid in full after July 1, 2024 but before September 15, 2024.
