FAQs

When are property taxes due in Denver, Colorado?

Taxes are billed in arrears; taxes assessed are due and payable January 1st of the following year.  For example, 2017 taxes are assessed January 1, 2017, but are not due and payable until January 1, 2018.  Property tax statements are mailed once a year in January by the Denver Treasury Division.

 Taxes can be paid in a lump-sum payment or in two installments:  

  • If paid as a lump-sum, payment in full is due by April 30th
  • If paid in installments, the first half is due by the last day of February and the second half is due by June 15th

What happens if I'm late in paying my Denver property taxes?

Once a payment is delinquent, interest accrues at the rate of 1% per month. 

The first half installment becomes delinquent on March 1st and the second half installment is due on June 15th. If the entire amount of tax due is paid at one time on or before April 30th, no delinquent interest will be charged on the first half installment.

How are my Denver property taxes calculated?

Assessed Value x Mill Levy = Property Tax Due

To determine the tax due the Denver County Assessor first determines the ACTUAL value of your property.  Then, a percentage is applied to the actual value in order to arrive at the ASSESSED value of your property. 

  • Assessed value for residential property = 7.15% of actual value
  • Assessed value for commercial and business personal property = 29% of actual value

Your ASSESSED value is then multiplied by the current MILL LEVY to arrive at the property tax due.  Mill levies are set around December 15th each year by the various Denver taxing authorities such as the school district, city council, or special districts.

  • A mill = $1 for every $1,000 of assessed value

If the property is located within a special district, local maintenance district, or business improvement district additional taxes are levied upon the property.
