Urgent News Alert - Largest Property Tax Increase in Years - You Have Only 1 Month to Appeal
This is the most important thing I've ever written..
As a local Realtor, it's my priority to keep you informed about the latest news and updates that could impact your home and financial well-being, not just helping to buy and sell. Today, I'm reaching out to let you know about a significant development that WILL impact you and nearly everyone you know.
For the first time in years, the largest property tax increase has hit our area, and you have only 1 month to appeal until the first week in June. That's right - you have just 30 days to take action and appeal your property tax assessment, using a specific format.
As your trusted real estate expert, I want to do everything I can to help. If you or someone you know is on a fixed income and is being forced to sell and move to a more affordable state, we are here to assist. We'll provide free staging or cover the upfront costs of some cosmetic facelift work to ensure that you maximize the value on your home here in Colorado.
Time is of the essence - if you wait too long, you may end up paying thousands of dollars more in property taxes than you need to. And if you think the new value is BELOW your current value, consider yourself one of the lucky ones.
Don't delay - click the links below for most counties for the appeal process, and let's work together to ensure you're not overpaying in property taxes. As always, feel free to reach out to me with any questions or concerns.
To appeal:
- Find your county below or reach out if I didn't list yours
- Search your property on the "assessor property search" portal
- Click the Tab showing your current and future taxes. Some counties show differently
- Download your Appeal Form from the appeal resources below
- Find Low-Price Comparable Homes. 1. Go to SOLD homes in Zillow/Realtor.com/ReColorado.com OR 2. Ask me to send you 2-3 sold comps (I'll need to know condition of your house)
- Fill out the Appeal Form
- Submit Form: Online, by Mail, or In-Person

I'm happy to help you get the 2-3 recent sales in your area to help push your value down and save you money on your property taxes. For example, in my neighborhood, I found two comparables of houses in rough shape for $150,000 less than it said my house is worth, and plan to use those for our appeal. Our property taxes went up $142 per month before the pending appeal was filed. The governor said he's working on reducing the recent increase, however, it's safer to appeal with data, rather than waiting to see if that even happens.
We're here to help. Whether it's something like this where we can take a whole week and set it aside to help our community save money one appeal form at a time, or maybe you're looking to sell grandma's house, or possibly sell your house and purchase another. Whatever it is within the world of real estate, we're your SOURCE.
Sincerely,
