Logan County Property Assessor 2026: Search & Tax Records

Logan County Colorado Property Records Navigator

Search Logan County Assessor Records, Parcel Values, Sales, GIS and Property Taxes

Logan County property research starts with the Assessor’s combined parcel, sales and tax-record system. It can search current owners, street locations, parcel numbers, subdivisions, neighborhoods, tax districts, property uses, zoning codes, acreage, building size and recorded sales. The Assessor values the property, but Treasurer Patricia “Patty” Bartlett separately collects the tax bill and Clerk & Recorder Pamela Bacon maintains deeds, liens, plats and other recorded documents.

The 2026 tax cycle also has an important Colorado-specific change: residential property taxes payable in 2026 use two different assessment rates—one for school-district levies and another for other local governments. This guide explains that change, shows how to search the correct parcel, separates 2025 taxes payable in 2026 from the separate 2026 assessment year, and gives the next steps for overdue taxes, valuation review, exemptions, deeds and the November 2026 tax-lien sale.

The most important Colorado tax-year distinction

2025 Taxes Payable in 2026 vs the 2026 Assessment Year

2025 Tax Year → Payable in 2026

The Treasurer mailed these statements in January 2026. The regular half-payment and full-payment deadlines have already passed.

This is the tax cycle using the new dual residential assessment rates discussed below.

2026 Assessment Year → Generally Billed in 2027

The Assessor values property for the 2026 assessment year. This is a separate cycle from the tax statement you paid—or should have paid—in 2026.

Do not confuse a 2026 Notice of Valuation with the 2025 tax bill payable in 2026.

As of August 7, 2026: the regular 2025-tax payment deadlines have passed. An unpaid balance may now carry delinquent interest, so use the live Treasurer tax search rather than calculating the payoff from the January statement.
Current 2026 property-tax position

What Logan County Property Owners Should Know Right Now

Tax statements mailed Logan County says 2025 tax statements payable in 2026 were mailed January 23, 2026.
Regular deadlines passed First half was listed for February 28, full payment for April 30 and second half for June 15.
2026 value review period passed Colorado’s ordinary 2026 real-property protest calendar has already closed for the current assessment year.
Next major delinquent-tax event Logan County’s 2026 tax-lien sale is scheduled for November 19, 2026.
Assessment-rate change explains why the statement looks different: Logan County removed a single residential “assessed value” from the tax statement because different assessment rates now apply to school and non-school taxes.
Postal warning: Logan County specifically highlights current USPS postmark rules and advises taxpayers who need a postmark matching the date of mailing to request a manual local postmark at a Post Office.

Major Colorado change for 2025 taxes payable in 2026

Why Logan County Residential Property Now Uses Two Assessment Rates

For the 2025 property tax year payable in 2026, Logan County explains that Colorado law created two residential assessment rates. Because one property can now have different assessed-value calculations for different levies, the Treasurer removed a single assessed-value number from the tax statement.

7.05% School District Taxes

Residential actual value is multiplied by 7.05% when calculating the assessed value used for school-district taxes for the 2025 tax year payable in 2026.

6.25% Other Local Government Taxes

Residential actual value is multiplied by 6.25% for applicable non-school local-government taxes for this same payable-2026 cycle.

Do not calculate one assessed value and apply every mill levy to it: that shortcut can be wrong for 2025 residential taxes payable in 2026 because the school and non-school portions use different assessment rates.
This is why the statement changed: Logan County says removing a single assessed-value figure avoids implying that one number applies to every taxing authority.
Simplified residential calculation

How to Estimate a Logan County Property Tax Bill

Actual Value Start with the Assessor’s property value.
×
Assessment Rate Use the rate applicable to the specific levy.
×
Mill Levy ÷ 1,000 Calculate tax for that taxing authority and add the levy components.
Example structure—not a final bill: if a residential property had $300,000 of actual value, the school assessed-value calculation would use 7.05%, while other local-government portions would use 6.25% for the 2025 tax year payable in 2026.
Step School portion Other local portion
Illustrative actual value $300,000 $300,000
Assessment rate 7.05% 6.25%
Illustrative assessed base $21,150 $18,750
Next step Apply school mill levy. Apply each applicable local mill levy.
This table is educational only: exemptions, temporary tax credits, special classifications and district-specific levies can change the actual amount due. Use the Treasurer’s live record for payment.

How Colorado’s 2026 Property Valuation Cycle Works

June 30, 2024 Value Level Colorado’s 2025–2026 appraisal cycle uses a June 30, 2024 statutory level of value for real property.
January 1, 2026 Assessment Date Property characteristics and taxable status are considered for the 2026 assessment year.
2026 Value / Classification Review Owners had the statutory protest process for current-year value or classification issues.
Tax Bill in 2027 The 2026 assessment generally becomes the base for property taxes billed the following year.
Sales-date limitation: Colorado’s 2025 and 2026 real-property valuations use the statutory June 30, 2024 level of value. Sales occurring after that appraisal date are not simply substituted into the 2026 valuation analysis as if the appraisal date were 2026.
2026 ordinary appeal window has passed

How Logan County Property Value Appeals Work

Review Assessor data Check actual value, classification and physical characteristics.
File Assessor protest Start the statutory appeal at the county Assessor level.
County Board Continue to the County Board of Equalization when eligible.
Further appeal Eligible decisions can proceed to the Board of Assessment Appeals, district court or arbitration.
August 2026 status: Colorado’s standard 2026 real-property protest period has already ended. The statewide 2026 calendar used an early-May through June 8 window for the ordinary process. Contact Logan County Assessor at 970-522-2797 if you missed the deadline or have a later correction issue.

Evidence worth organizing before contacting the Assessor

  • Current Logan County property record
  • Notice of Valuation when applicable
  • Incorrect square footage or acreage evidence
  • Property-condition photographs
  • Comparable sales from the statutory appraisal period
  • Construction or demolition documentation
  • Correct property-use/classification evidence
  • Recorded deed or survey information when relevant
Appeal sequence matters: Colorado Judicial Branch guidance says owners generally must first protest with the County Assessor and then appeal to the County Board of Equalization before pursuing the later appeal options.
Colorado statewide property-tax relief

Senior and Veteran-with-a-Disability Property Tax Exemptions

Senior Citizen Exemption Colorado generally exempts 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value for a qualifying senior primary residence. Standard qualification historically includes age 65 and long-term ownership/occupancy requirements, with special 2025–2026 rules for certain previously qualified seniors who moved.
Veteran with a Disability Colorado provides a similar exemption for qualifying veterans with the required service-connected disability status and qualifying primary-residence ownership/occupancy.
Logan County’s Assessor page still links older downloadable form versions: use those only as background. Contact the Assessor for the current 2026 form or state instructions before submitting a new application.
Veteran filing timing: current Colorado materials use a July 1 application deadline for the veteran-with-a-disability exemption. As of August 7, that ordinary 2026 date has passed.

Deferral is different from an exemption

Colorado Property Tax Deferral for Logan County Homeowners

Logan County Treasurer participates in Colorado’s property-tax deferral program. A deferral is a state-backed loan arrangement that postpones eligible tax payment—it does not erase the tax in the way an exemption can reduce taxable value.

Senior homeowners Logan County says eligible homeowners age 65 and older may qualify.
Active military Eligible active-duty military service members may also qualify.
2026 filing period Treasurer accepted applications January 1 through April 1, 2026.

Temporary Tax Credits on Logan County 2026 Statements

Logan County states that several taxing authorities elected temporary tax credits under Colorado SB 23-108 for the 2025 taxes payable in 2026. The Treasurer says the amount due on applicable statements already reflects these credits.

Taxing authority Published temporary tax credit
Plateau RE-5 School District 3.392
Logan County General Fund 0.980
Town of Crook 11.812
Town of Fleming 5.693
Town of Iliff 3.980
Town of Merino 3.268
Town of Peetz 4.447
Crook Fire Protection District 1.000
Peetz Fire Protection District 0.009
Lower South Platte Water 0.5
Do not subtract these numbers again: the Treasurer says the tax amount due already reflects the applicable temporary tax credit.

Delinquent Logan County Property Taxes and the 2026 Tax-Lien Sale

Delinquent interest Logan County adds delinquent interest when a payment is postmarked after the applicable deadline.
Annual tax-lien sale The 2026 sale is scheduled for November 19 at the Logan County Courthouse in Sterling.
Tax lien is not immediate loss of property Colorado has statutory redemption and later Treasurer’s Deed procedures; a tax-lien sale itself is not the same as the county instantly transferring ownership of the home.
If the property is already delinquent, contact the Treasurer now: 970-522-2462. Waiting for the November tax-lien sale generally makes the problem more complicated rather than easier.
Public Trustee is also in the Treasurer’s office: mortgage foreclosure and property-tax lien processes are separate. Logan County Treasurer also serves as Public Trustee, but a lender foreclosure should not be confused with a county tax-lien sale.

Exactly 10 Logan County-specific answers

Logan County Property Assessor 2026 FAQs

1. How do I search Logan County Colorado property records?

Use the official Logan County Assessor Records Search at loganco-search.gsacorp.io. The system supports parcel and sales searches using owner name, street location, parcel number, subdivision, neighborhood, section-township-range, tax district, property use, zone, building square footage, acreage and construction year.

2. Who is the Logan County Colorado Assessor in 2026?

Peggy Michaels is the Logan County Assessor. The Assessor’s Office is at 315 Main Street, Suite 1, Sterling, Colorado 80751. The main phone number is 970-522-2797 and office hours are Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.

3. Why are there two residential assessment rates on Logan County property taxes in 2026?

Beginning with the 2025 property tax year payable in 2026, Colorado created different residential assessment rates for different levies. Logan County publishes a 7.05% residential assessment rate for school-district taxes and a 6.25% residential assessment rate for other local-government taxes. Because one assessed value no longer applies to the entire tax bill, the Treasurer removed a single assessed-value figure from residential tax statements.

4. When were Logan County property taxes due in 2026?

For 2025 taxes payable in 2026, Logan County published February 28 as the first-half date, April 30 as the full-payment deadline and June 15 as the second-half deadline. As of August 7, 2026, the regular deadlines have passed and unpaid balances may include delinquent interest.

5. Are 2026 Logan County assessments the same as taxes paid in 2026?

No. Property taxes paid during 2026 generally relate to the 2025 tax year. The 2026 assessment year is a separate valuation cycle and generally becomes part of the property tax calculation billed in 2027. This distinction is important when reading a Notice of Valuation and a Treasurer tax statement.

6. How do I appeal a Logan County property value?

Colorado property-value appeals begin with the County Assessor. If the dispute is not resolved, eligible appeals can continue to the County Board of Equalization and then to the Colorado Board of Assessment Appeals, district court or arbitration. The ordinary 2026 real-property protest period has already passed, so contact Logan County Assessor at 970-522-2797 for the options that remain for a current issue.

7. Does Logan County offer a senior property tax exemption?

Qualifying Logan County homeowners can use Colorado’s Senior Property Tax Exemption. The statewide program generally exempts 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value for a qualifying primary residence. Age, ownership, occupancy and other statutory requirements apply, and special rules affect some homeowners who previously qualified and later moved.

8. Can I make partial Logan County property tax payments?

No. Logan County Treasurer currently states that only half payments or one full payment are accepted and that ordinary partial payments are not accepted. If taxes are delinquent, contact the Treasurer for the current balance and accepted payment options.

9. Where do I search Logan County deeds and liens?

Use the Logan County Clerk & Recorder Online Documents system. The county’s instructions allow Advanced Search by person name, business name, reception number and book/page. Watermarked research copies can be printed free online, while unwatermarked or official copies can be purchased.

10. When is the Logan County Colorado 2026 tax-lien sale?

Logan County has scheduled its 2026 annual tax-lien sale for November 19, 2026 at the Logan County Courthouse, 315 Main Street in Sterling. Registration begins through the Treasurer’s Office and the sale is scheduled to begin at 10 a.m. Property owners with delinquent taxes should contact the Treasurer before the sale rather than waiting for the auction date.

Use this free helper to find the right county office, prepare a property search, understand appraised value, review homestead exemption steps, and organize TRIM notice or tax bill questions before using official county websites.

Built for Florida county property guides
Helps users find official resources

Useful after every article

Find the Correct County Office

Property Appraiser, Tax Collector, Clerk, GIS, and VAB offices do different jobs. Pick your task below.

Quick rule: Property Appraiser = value, records, parcel details, exemptions. Tax Collector = bill and payment. Clerk/Recorder = deeds and recorded documents. VAB = formal value disputes.

Official Property Search Helper

Use this when a county article tells you to search by owner, address, parcel number, folio, PCN, STRAP, or alternate key.

Search tip: If address search fails, try only the house number and main street name. Avoid typing Street, Avenue, Road, Drive, unit numbers, or punctuation unless the official portal requires it.

Homestead Exemption Readiness Check

This helps homeowners prepare before filing through the official county Property Appraiser website.

Important: This is not an eligibility decision. The official county Property Appraiser decides approval, required documents, late filing options, and exemption status.

TRIM Notice & Value Review Helper

Use this to organize your questions before calling the Property Appraiser or preparing an appeal.

Your preparation checklist

Value term Simple meaning
Market value The appraiser’s estimate of the property’s value as of the assessment date.
Assessed value The value after limits or caps may be applied.
Exemptions Approved reductions such as homestead or other exemptions.
Taxable value The value used by taxing authorities after exemptions.

Property Tax Bill Direction Helper

The Property Appraiser values property, but the Tax Collector usually handles the actual bill and payment.

Florida timing reminder: Many Florida tax bills are mailed around November and become delinquent if unpaid after March 31. Always verify exact dates, discounts, and payment fees with the official county Tax Collector.
