Larimer County Colorado Property Records Navigator
Search Larimer County CO Assessments, Parcel Maps, Taxes and Deeds
Larimer County property information is divided among several offices. The Assessor maintains real-property values, parcel characteristics, ownership records, business personal-property schedules, manufactured-home assessments and valuation appeals. The Treasurer collects tax bills, posts payments, calculates delinquent interest and conducts the annual tax-lien sale. The Clerk and Recorder maintains deeds, mortgages, liens, plats and surveys, while the county GIS system provides parcel, zoning and land-information layers.
This 2026 guide explains the fastest property-search route, how to decode schedule and parcel numbers, the new residential value reduction, school and local-government assessment rates, tax deadlines, delinquent notices, appeal stages, exemptions, EquaPay, manufactured-home requirements and recorded-document searches.

Current August 2026 position
Larimer County Assessment, Appeal and Delinquent-Tax Status
The normal 2026 real-property protest and County Board scheduling windows have closed. Real-property Notices of Determination were mailed and posted June 30. CBOE scheduling closed July 15 for real property and July 20 for personal property. Scheduled hearings ran through August 3.
Waiting for a CBOE decision
Decisions require final approval. The county directs owners who have not received a decision letter by August 17 to contact the CBOE office.
Disagree with the CBOE result
Further appeal options generally must be started within 30 days after the postmark on the decision letter.
Tax account remains unpaid
Delinquent statements were mailed in June and July. Current balances include 1% interest for each month or part of a month after the applicable delinquency date.
Tax-lien sale date: Larimer County has scheduled its 2026 tax-lien sale for November 19. Owners with unresolved delinquent real-property taxes should obtain a current payoff well before the sale.
New monthly-payment option: The Treasurer registered with EquaPay in 2026 to accept payments made on behalf of owners whose taxes are not escrowed through a mortgage. The vendor arrangement is separate from the county and should be reviewed carefully.
Start with the correct office
Assessor, Treasurer, Clerk and GIS Responsibilities
County Assessor
- Property and parcel searches
- Actual and assessed values
- Ownership and mailing records
- Land and improvement characteristics
- Business and mobile-home assessments
- Protests, abatements and exemptions
Treasurer and Public Trustee
- Property-tax statements
- Balances, payments and receipts
- Delinquent interest and tax liens
- Tax-lien sale administration
- Mortgage escrow payment research
- Foreclosures and deed-of-trust releases
Clerk, Recorder and GIS
- Deeds and mortgages
- Liens, plats and surveys
- Recorded-document copies
- Parcel and zoning maps
- Land Information Locator
- Recording activity alerts
Important distinction: The Assessor does not collect tax payments or set mill levies. The Treasurer does not decide actual value. The Recorder preserves filed documents but does not guarantee clear title, and GIS parcel lines are not a certified survey.
Colorado and Washington use different tax structures: Larimer County uses actual value, assessment rates and mill levies. King County, Washington uses assessed value and combined levy rates per $1,000. See the existing
King County Assessor property-search guide for a practical comparison.

2026 Colorado assessment changes
Larimer County 2026 Residential Value and Assessment Flow
2026 is a non-reappraisal year, so most real-property actual values remain the same as 2025 unless a remodel, new construction, demolition, ownership-related change or corrected property fact affects the account. The 2025 and 2026 residential actual values are based on a June 30, 2024 appraisal date and market activity in the July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024 data period.
Actual value
Assessor’s market-value determination.
Example: $496,100.
Local-government reduction
Reduce the first $700,000 of qualifying residential actual value by 10%.
Example reduction: $49,610.
Assessment rates
Apply separate school and local-government rates.
School and local assessed values can differ.
Mill levies
Multiply each assessed-value stream by the applicable mill levy.
Add school and local-government tax portions.
Local-government residential
6.80%
After the 10% reduction on the first $700,000 of actual value, with a $1,000 assessed-value minimum.

School residential

Illustrative county example: Using a total illustrative mill levy of 92.728, the county flow chart calculates $3,064.94 in estimated taxes. The real mill levies depend on the taxing authorities serving the actual property.
Do not multiply actual value by one rate: The 2026 bifurcated system can produce one assessed value for schools and another for local governments.
Treasurer tax-account workflow
How to Search and Pay Larimer County Property Taxes
Copy the property schedule number.
Find it on the tax statement, Assessor record, payment coupon or prior receipt.
Open the correct schedule.
Match the property location, owner, tax year and account type before continuing.
Review every charge and payment.
Check full or half-payment status, taxing authorities, current balance, prior payments and delinquent interest.
Select a payment method.
Choose electronic check, card, mail, drop box, in-person payment, bank bill pay or another permitted route.
Include the schedule number.
Write it on mailed checks, bank bill-pay instructions and other payments so Treasury can post the funds correctly.
Save proof.
Retain the confirmation, receipt, postmark, check image or drop-box record.
Verify payment posting.
Open the receipt and live tax account before assuming the balance is cleared.
Electronic check
The county’s 2026 payment instructions list no processor fee for an eligible eCheck.
Published fee: $0
Credit or debit card
Municipay accepts major cards and adds a processor fee to the transaction.
2.3%, $1 minimum
Payment by mail
Send payment to Larimer County Treasurer, P.O. Box 2336, Fort Collins, CO 80522. Include the coupon or schedule number.
USPS postmark controls
Office or drop box
Pay at 200 W. Oak Street or use the secure 24-hour drop box near the southwest entrance.
Office: 8:00–4:30
Bank bill pay
Allow up to two weeks for bank processing and mailing. Enter the schedule number in the payment reference.
Do not schedule at deadline
Mortgage escrow
The owner receives the legal statement or postcard. The lender researches taxes separately and does not automatically receive the county statement.
Confirm lender posting
Duplicate mortgage payment: When both an owner and mortgage company pay, the Treasurer processes the first payment received and returns the later payment. The office does not hold the extra money for future taxes.
No ordinary partial payment: Current taxes are paid as two equal halves or one full payment. When the total tax is below $25, the half-payment option is not available.
2025 taxes payable in 2026
Larimer County Property-Tax Deadlines
First half
The statutory date fell on Saturday; March 2 payments were treated as timely.
Full payment
Owners paying once had to submit the full amount.
Second half
The remaining equal installment was due.
Delinquent notices
Manufactured-home notices went out in June and other notices in July.
Certified funds
Cash or certified funds become required for tax payments.
Tax-lien sale
Unresolved qualifying delinquent taxes are offered at the annual sale.
Statement or postcard: Larimer County sends informational postcards rather than full statements for some accounts historically paid through mortgage escrow or exempt from taxation. The postcard still serves as legal notice.
No statement received: Search the live account or contact Treasury. Failure to receive the notice does not remove the tax or stop delinquent interest.
One percent per month or part of month
Larimer County Delinquent Interest and Tax-Lien Risk
The chart illustrates the cumulative monthly interest pattern at 1% for each month or portion of a month. The exact starting point depends on whether no payment was made or the first half was paid and only the second half became delinquent.
Different delinquency starting points: Accounts with no payment began accruing interest after the full-payment deadline. Owners who paid the first half but missed the second half began accruing interest on the unpaid installment after June 15.
Late notice after recent payment: A delinquent statement can cross in the mail with a payment. Check the live tax calculator and receipt before paying again.
“I need the complete current payoff for Larimer County schedule __________. Please confirm each unpaid year, the payment method previously selected, interest through the intended payment date, tax-lien-sale status and whether certified funds are required.”
Optional third-party monthly payment service
Larimer County EquaPay Monthly Property-Tax Option
Larimer County registered with EquaPay by Autoagent so the vendor can make property-tax payments on behalf of participating owners. The service is intended for properties that do not already use mortgage escrow.

Not a county installment plan
The monthly agreement is between the taxpayer and vendor. The county accepts the vendor’s payment but does not manage the customer contract.
Not for mortgage-escrow accounts
Owners already paying taxes through a mortgage company should not create a second competing payment arrangement.
Verify final county payment
The owner remains responsible for confirming that the vendor paid the correct schedule and amount before the county deadline.
County disclaimer: Larimer County states that it has no business affiliation with EquaPay and does not endorse the vendor. Fees, withdrawal timing, cancellation terms and shortage handling should be reviewed directly in the agreement.
Read the Official EquaPay Notice
Review county eligibility information and the independent-vendor disclaimer before enrolling.
2026 protest and CBOE route
Larimer County Property Valuation Appeals
Assessor protest
Real-property protests ran from May 1 through June 8. Personal-property protests followed the June 15 notice and closed June 30.
Notice of Determination
Real-property NODs were mailed and posted June 30. The NOD states whether the Assessor changed the value and explains the next step.
County Board of Equalization
Real-property scheduling closed July 15 and personal-property scheduling closed July 20. Hearings ran July 13 through August 3.
Further appeal
File within 30 days of the CBOE decision postmark with the state board, binding arbitration or district court.
How the CBOE hearing is divided
- Approximately five minutes for the taxpayer.
- Approximately five minutes for the Assessor’s appraiser.
- Remaining time for referee questions and deliberation.
- Evidence not previously carried forward automatically from the Assessor protest.
- New evidence must be supplied to CBOE at least two business days before the hearing.
Evidence checklist
- 2026 Notice of Valuation
- June 30 Notice of Determination
- Current Assessor property record
- Owner’s requested actual value
- Dated property photographs
- Repair or condition estimates
- Qualified comparable sales
- Adjustments for material differences
- Survey or deed for land errors
- Authorization when an agent appears
Do not rely only on the tax increase: A valuation appeal should address actual value, classification, property characteristics or unequal treatment rather than the amount of the bill alone.
Possible prior-year correction route
Larimer County Property-Tax Abatement or Refund Petition
An abatement petition can request cancellation of unpaid taxes or a refund of taxes already paid when a qualifying valuation or taxation error affected a prior year.
Two-year filing period
A petition generally must be filed within two years of the date the tax was due, with the applicable first-working-day January extension.
Prior protest limitation
The abatement route generally cannot reopen a valuation that was already protested for the same year.
Ownership requirement
The petitioner generally must have been the owner of record for the tax year involved.
Identify year
Select the affected tax year.
Check history
Confirm no prior protest blocks filing.
Gather proof
Support the claimed error.
File petition
Use the official form.
Track review
The process can take months.
Not an automatic late protest: Abatement has separate statutory requirements and should not be treated as a general second opportunity to challenge any missed annual valuation.
Open Abatement Instructions
Review eligibility, deadlines, ownership conditions and the petition process.

Title-specific answers
Larimer County Property Assessor Search and Tax Records FAQs
1. How do I search Larimer County property assessor records?
Use the official Larimer County Assessor property search. Start with the schedule or account number, parcel number or property address. Manufactured homes can use an M-prefixed account and may also require serial information.
2. What is the difference between a Larimer County schedule number and parcel number?
The schedule number identifies the Assessor and Treasurer account used for tax statements and payments. The parcel number identifies the land using range, township, section, quarter-section, block and lot components. One should not be substituted for the other without verifying the property.
3. Is 2026 a Larimer County reappraisal year?
No. 2026 is a non-reappraisal year. Most actual values should remain the same as 2025 unless new construction, remodeling, demolition, ownership-related changes or corrected property information affected the account.
4. What are the 2026 Larimer County residential assessment rates?
The 2026 school residential assessment rate is 7.05%. The local-government residential rate is 6.80% after a 10% reduction on the first $700,000 of qualifying actual value, subject to the published $1,000 assessed-value minimum.
5. When were Larimer County property taxes due in 2026?
For 2025 taxes payable in 2026, the first-half statutory date was February 28, the full-payment deadline was April 30 and the second-half deadline was June 15. The February date fell on Saturday, so March 2 payments were treated as timely.
6. What are the Larimer County online property-tax payment fees?
The official 2026 payment page lists no fee for an eligible electronic check. Credit and debit card payments carry a 2.3% processor fee with a $1 minimum. Review the live payment screen before authorizing a transaction.
7. Can I make partial Larimer County property-tax payments?
The Treasurer’s ordinary current-tax system accepts two equal installments or one full payment and does not accept general partial payments. EquaPay is a separate third-party monthly arrangement available to qualifying non-escrow properties.
8. What can I do after the 2026 Larimer County appeal deadlines?
An owner who received a CBOE decision generally has 30 days from the decision-letter postmark to pursue the State Board of Assessment Appeals, binding arbitration or district court. A qualifying prior-year abatement petition may be available under separate rules.
9. When is the 2026 Larimer County tax-lien sale?
