Under the Buy pull down tab there is a Recent Home Sales. You can then sort them date and look as close to 6-30-16 as possible.Quote:

Just once, I would like to hear the government stand up after one of these huge increases and say “Wow, we just increased revenue to our coffers by X, and that will go a long way toward reducing tax shortages and fixing Y”. But no, they will never mention this new windfall, and they’ll keep telling us they need more and it’s for the children.
The house I'm living in actually sold during the valuation period. You'd think that this would be a pretty good indication of market value, but apparently not. The assessor valued my home at $72,000 more than the actual sale price!
I've fought tax assessments almost every year for the past 3-4 years. I always win. Last year I had an actual hearing scheduled and they called beforehand to negotiate a settlement. I think they throw out stupid numbers in hopes that people won't bother with the protest process. Probably works 80%+ of the time. Not for me! :-)
Jeffco has my house valued $380 a square foot. It was built in 1984. Have not remodeled a thing except paint and counter tops. They are smoking crack.
I opened my rental assessment last week and laughed. I just opened the one for my home in Conifer and just about passed out. I need to get out of Jeffco...better yet out of this state!!!
Does anybody know any appraisers? I guess home appraisals are insane in Colorado too. Sigh!!!
This is the price we pay to live in a civilized society. C'mon guys. :P
It sounds like I am not getting screwed as much as others.
The initial assesment a few years ago was the sale price, and it even went down one year before trickling upwards.
How does tabor and the other tax law play into this. These taxing districts are revenue limited by about 5% this year I believe. Inflation plus population growth.
The other about balancing residential vs commercial property tax income may balance the tax you pay by lowering the % of the taxable value that is taxed.
But I agree, the assessors office is one that can go away. Fair market value is best determined by a seller and buyer. Set the value at the last sale price and tax that, not an imaginary value.
Wonder what CDOT assessors are valuing property at when they go to force you out for an expansion?
Click on final report and take a look see, has all the different property categories and increases/decreases by category for all the counties in the state:
