El Paso County Colorado Property Records 2026
El Paso County Assessor Search by Owner Name, Address, Schedule Number & Property Records
The El Paso County Assessor property search lets you find Colorado Springs, Fountain, Monument, Calhan, Manitou Springs and other county parcels by owner name, property address or parcel/schedule number. Start with a name when you do not know the address, then verify the 10-digit schedule number before using assessment, tax, map or recorded-document information.
2026 is an intervening assessment year in Colorado. Most real-property values established during the 2025 reappraisal remain in effect for 2026 unless a change in property or use affects value. The 2025–2026 valuation cycle uses market data from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024.

2026 Value Appeals Are Past the County Filing Stage—but Some Owners Still Have a 30-Day Next Step
The 2026 El Paso County real-property appeal deadline to the County Board of Equalization was July 15, and CBOE hearings ran through August 5. If you recently received a CBOE decision and disagree with it, Colorado provides 30 days from the postmark of that decision to choose the Board of Assessment Appeals, District Court or binding arbitration route.
Assessor appeal closed
2026 objections to real-property value or classification had to reach the Assessor by June 8.
CBOE filing closed
The 2026 real-property CBOE deadline was July 15.
CBOE hearings ended
Independent-referee hearings ran July 6 through August 5.
Decision appeal may still be live
A new 30-day period begins from the postmark of the CBOE decision.
Taxes paid in 2026 are already past due if unpaid
The second-half deadline for the preceding tax year was June 15.
2026 value creates a later tax bill
Colorado taxes are collected one year in arrears, so the 2026 assessment feeds taxes payable in 2027.
Do not mix up “2026 value” and “taxes paid during 2026.” The tax statement mailed in January 2026 was based on the prior tax year. A 2026 Assessor value is part of the tax cycle payable in 2027.

The Assessor does not establish mill levies or collect taxes. Taxing authorities establish their levies; the Treasurer collects the resulting property tax.
Colorado uses an Assessor/Treasurer/Recorder structure. If you are comparing county systems across states, see our Volusia County Property Appraiser guide, where Florida uses different office titles and tax procedures.
Choose Your El Paso County Property Task
Search by owner name
Start with the recorded surname or business/trust name and narrow the results.
Find schedule number
Save the 10-digit number before opening tax, appeal or address-change forms.
Review 2026 value
Separate actual value from assessed value and property classification.
Check tax payment
Carry the schedule number to the Treasurer’s property-tax portal.
Find deed or lien
Use owner and property clues in the Clerk & Recorder public record system.
Check appeal status
Use the date on your 2026 CBOE decision before assuming all appeal rights are gone.

How to Search El Paso County Property by Owner Name
Open the county-linked Real Property Parcel Search.
Go to El Paso County Property Search.
Select the owner-name search option.
Use the search selector to focus results on owner information instead of matching the same word inside an address.
Start with the surname or main business/trust name.
A broader partial-name search is useful when you are unsure whether a middle initial, suffix or trust wording appears in the assessment record.
Add the first name only when the list is too broad.
Common names can return multiple parcels, so narrowing after the first search is safer than over-formatting the initial query.
Open the candidate parcel.
Match physical address, owner, parcel/schedule number and map location before relying on it.
Copy the 10-digit schedule number.
This is the most useful identifier for appeals, mailing-address changes and county-office questions.
Review valuation and classification separately.
Do not confuse actual market value with the smaller assessed value used with mill levies.
Move to the correct next system.
Treasurer = tax bill. Clerk & Recorder = deed/lien. Assessor = value/property data.
Name-search shortcut: if “John A. Smith” produces no useful match, try Smith first, then narrow with the property address or schedule number.
Some ownership information may be privacy-protected electronically. Colorado permits eligible property owners to obtain privacy restrictions on certain online ownership information. A missing owner-name result does not automatically mean no county record exists.
Search by Property Address, Schedule Number or Map
Owner Name
Best when you know the person, company, LLC or trust but not the property address.
Property Address
Usually the fastest search for a known house, commercial building or improved parcel.
Schedule Number
Ten-digit identifier used throughout the Assessor’s records and forms.
Interactive Map
Useful for vacant land, rural property, legal-description research and neighboring parcels.
Best practice: use name or address to locate the property once, then use the schedule number for every later lookup.

El Paso County Assessor Record Field Decoder
Actual Value
The Assessor’s estimate of market value under Colorado’s statutory appraisal rules.
Assessed Value
Actual value adjusted by the applicable assessment rate. Mill levies are applied to this assessed value.
Schedule Number
Ten-digit account/parcel identifier used to connect Assessor records, appeals and tax information.
Property Classification
Residential, commercial, vacant land, agricultural and other classes can use different assessment rules.
Land
Parcel-size, land-use and location information considered in the appraisal.
Improvements
Buildings and other taxable improvements added to the land.
Sales
Sale history helps owners compare the property with transactions used in market analysis.
Legal Description
Can use lot/block, recorded plat, section-township-range or metes-and-bounds information.
Tax District / Mill Levy
Taxing entities vary by parcel, so neighboring properties can have different combined mill levies.
2025 Reappraisal, 2026 Assessment and Taxes Payable in Different Years
2025 Reappraisal
Colorado reassesses real property in odd-numbered years. New 2025 values were established for the 2025–2026 cycle.
2026 Intervening Year
The value generally remains the same unless there is a change affecting the property’s value or use.
2025 Taxes Payable in 2026
Tax statements mailed in January 2026 relate to the preceding assessment/tax year because Colorado collects property taxes in arrears.
2026 Taxes Payable in 2027
The 2026 assessment record becomes part of the tax warrant and bill collected the following calendar year.
Market-data period: El Paso County states that the 2025 and 2026 valuation cycle uses an 18-month data-gathering period from January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024, with statutory extensions possible when necessary.
2026 is not a fresh countywide market reset. A value change in an even-numbered intervening year usually points to a property/use change, correction or another legally permitted adjustment rather than a new general reappraisal.
El Paso County 2026 Assessment Rates
6.8%
Residential property general 2026 assessment rate listed by the Assessor.
25%
Commercial / non-residential general rate identified on the Assessor’s current 2026 guidance.
26%
Vacant-land general 2026 assessment rate listed by the Assessor.
Do not automatically apply the 2026 residential rate to the tax statement you paid during 2026. The Treasurer notes that 2025 residential taxes payable in 2026 implemented Colorado’s split-assessment structure for school-district and non-school portions. Always use the actual tax statement for the payable amount.
Classes and subclasses matter. El Paso County publishes a complete annual Property Class & Sub-Class Assessment Rate table. Use the parcel’s actual classification when you need a precise calculation.
Open 2026 Assessment Rates
Find the 2026 Property Class & Sub-Class table → identify your parcel’s class → use that rate rather than assuming every property is residential.

Senior, Disabled Veteran & Gold Star Property Tax Exemptions
Senior Property Tax Exemption
For a qualifying senior, Colorado can exempt 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value of the qualifying primary residence.
2026 Senior deadline
El Paso County lists July 15 for Tax Year 2026 payable in 2027. That ordinary deadline has passed.
Senior ownership rule
A new applicant generally must be at least 65 and meet the program’s 10-year ownership and primary-residence requirements.
Qualifying Veteran with a Disability
The exemption can remove 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value from the qualifying primary residence.
Veteran filing deadline
The Assessor’s current veteran exemption page lists July 1.
2026 funding
El Paso County states that the senior and qualifying veteran programs remain funded for 2026.
Already approved senior? The Assessor says previously approved Senior Exemption participants generally do not need to submit a new application each year while eligibility continues.
Senior Property Tax Exemption
Review eligibility → determine whether an existing approval remains active → contact the Exemption Coordinator about a missed filing or ownership change.
El Paso County Business Personal Property in 2026
April 15 declaration deadline
Business Personal Property Declaration Schedules are generally due to the Assessor by April 15.
$56,000 threshold
Current El Paso County guidance says businesses at or below $56,000 total actual value generally do not have to file the declaration schedule.
Above $56,000
When total taxable business personal property exceeds the threshold, the county says the property is taxable including the initial amount.
The 2026 online declaration season is closed. New businesses or taxpayers unsure about their filing status should contact the Assessor rather than assuming no declaration was required.

Full-payment option
Taxpayers paying in one installment use the April 30 deadline.
Second half
Second-half payment deadline.
Delinquent
Unpaid taxes are delinquent after the second-half deadline and applicable charges accrue.
August 2026 status: if the tax statement payable in 2026 remains unpaid, the regular June 15 second-half deadline has already passed. Use the live Treasurer account for the current payoff rather than paying the original statement amount.
Weekend / legal holiday rule: El Paso County treats a deadline as timely on the next business day when the statutory due date falls on a weekend or legal holiday.
El Paso County GIS, Parcel Maps & Legal Description Research
Assessment maps
The Assessor maintains mapping needed to inventory, identify and connect parcels to assessment records.
Section / Township / Range
Rural parcels can be identified using Colorado’s public-land survey system.
Recorded plats
Subdivision parcels can be described by lot and block after an approved plat is recorded.
Metes and bounds
Irregular parcels can use measurements and physical/legal reference points rather than simple lot/block descriptions.
Tax entity maps
Useful for understanding which taxing authorities can contribute mill levies to a parcel.
Community map tools
The Assessor links a countywide Spatialest Community tool with maps, assessment, sales and related data.
Parcel maps are not a substitute for a boundary survey. Use the Assessor map to locate and identify property; use recorded plats, survey documents and a professional survey when exact ground boundaries matter.
GIS, Legal Descriptions & Parcel Numbering
Review parcel-number concepts → identify the applicable legal-description system → use Recorder plats or survey records when legal boundary proof is needed.

El Paso County Name Search Problems and Fixes
| Problem | What to do | Correct office / tool |
|---|---|---|
| Full owner name gives no result | Try surname only or a partial company/trust name, then verify by address. | Assessor Search |
| Common surname gives hundreds of results | Add first name, property address or narrow with the map. | Assessor Search |
| Owner recently purchased property | Check recorded deed information if the Assessor ownership record has not yet reflected the transaction. | Clerk & Recorder |
| Owner information appears hidden | Some eligible owners have electronic privacy protections; contact the Assessor for information that may lawfully be provided. | Assessor |
| Need exact property-tax amount | Use Treasurer Property Tax Search rather than the Assessor value card. | Treasurer |
| 2026 value matches 2025 | That can be normal because 2026 is an intervening year after the 2025 reappraisal. | Assessor |
| 2026 value changed | Check for new construction, property-use change, correction or another value-affecting change. | Assessor |
| Missed July 15 CBOE deadline | If you already received a CBOE decision, a separate 30-day postmark-based appeal period may apply. | Clerk to Board |
| Need deed or lien | Use Clerk & Recorder public records; county staff do not perform title searches. | Recorder |
| Need exact boundary | Use GIS for orientation and recorded survey/plat plus a professional survey for exact boundaries. | Assessor / Recorder |
| Tax bill paid in 2026 differs from 2026 assessment | Remember Colorado collects property taxes one year in arrears. | Treasurer |
| Mailing address is wrong | Use the Assessor’s Change of Address form; this does not change legal ownership. | Assessor |

El Paso County Assessor Property Search FAQs
How do I search El Paso County Colorado property by owner name?
Open the El Paso County Assessor’s county-linked Real Property Parcel Search and use the owner-name search option. Start with all or part of the recorded owner’s surname, business name or trust name, then verify the property address and 10-digit schedule number before relying on the result.
Who is the El Paso County Colorado Assessor in 2026?
Mark Flutcher is the current El Paso County Assessor. The Assessor’s Office is at 1675 West Garden of the Gods Road, Suite 2300, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80907, and the main phone number is 719-520-6600.
What is the El Paso County property schedule number?
The schedule number is a 10-digit property identifier used by the El Paso County Assessor for parcel records, valuation notices, appeals and property-related forms. Saving the schedule number after a name or address search makes later tax and assessment research easier.
Is 2026 a reappraisal year in El Paso County Colorado?
No. Colorado reappraises real property in odd-numbered years, making 2026 an intervening year after the 2025 reappraisal. Most real-property values remain the same unless a change affecting property value or use occurs.
What is the 2026 residential assessment rate in El Paso County?
The El Paso County Assessor currently lists a 6.8% general residential assessment rate for 2026. The Assessor also lists 25% for commercial property and 26% for vacant land, while additional classes and subclasses can have different statutory treatment.
Can I still appeal my El Paso County 2026 property value?
The regular 2026 Assessor and County Board filing deadlines have passed. If you recently received a County Board of Equalization decision, however, you generally have 30 days from the postmark of that decision to choose the Board of Assessment Appeals, District Court or binding arbitration route.
Where do I search El Paso County property tax records?
Use the El Paso County Treasurer’s county-linked Property Tax Search and Payment Portal after identifying the correct parcel through the Assessor. Colorado property taxes are collected one year in arrears, so a tax statement paid during 2026 relates to the preceding assessment year.
When are El Paso County Colorado property taxes due?
The first-half payment is due on the last day of February, the full-payment option is due April 30, and the second-half payment is due June 15. If a due date falls on a legal holiday or weekend, the payment is considered timely on the next business day.
How do I find an El Paso County deed or property lien?
Use the Assessor property search to identify the owner, address and schedule number, then use the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder’s Official Public Records Search for recorded deeds, deeds of trust, releases and liens. The Recording Department does not perform a title or lien search for customers.
Does El Paso County offer a senior property tax exemption in 2026?
Yes. Colorado funded the Senior Property Tax Exemption for tax year 2026 payable in 2027. Qualifying homeowners can receive an exemption of 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value of the primary residence, and El Paso County lists July 15 as the regular 2026 application deadline.
