Find Boulder County Parcel Values, Assessment Records and Tax Bills
The Boulder County Assessor determines actual property value, classification, assessed value and exemption status. The County Treasurer calculates the tax from certified values and local mill levies, sends tax notices and collects payments. The Clerk & Recorder maintains deeds, liens, plats and other recorded documents.
This guide explains how to search by address, owner, subdivision, account, parcel or section-township-range; read the 2026 intervening-year valuation; compare school and local-government assessed values; verify taxes payable in 2026; check senior and veteran relief; appeal a determination; and locate recorded deeds or liens.

What Boulder County Property Owners Should Do Now
Real-property appeals to the Assessor closed June 8, 2026. The Assessor must mail Notices of Determination for timely appeals by August 15. Owners who disagree with a determination can submit a written appeal to the Boulder County Board of Equalization by September 15, 2026.
Filed a timely 2026 appeal
Watch for the Notice of Determination. The Assessor states that staff cannot provide an appeal status before the notice is mailed.
2025 taxes remain unpaid
All normal 2026 payment dates have passed. Search the Treasurer’s live account because interest and post-August fees depend on the payment date.
Senior exemption not yet filed
The on-time July 15 deadline has passed, but late 2026 Senior Homestead Exemption applications are accepted through August 15.
2026 is an intervening valuation year: Most unchanged properties retain their 2025 value. A new Notice of Valuation is issued when property condition or classification changed from 2025.
Two different “2026” questions: Taxes being paid during 2026 are generally based on the 2025 tax year. The 2026 assessment will normally appear on the tax notice issued in early 2027.

Colorado and California are very different: Boulder County uses biennial market reappraisal, state-set assessment rates and local mill levies. Los Angeles County uses Proposition 13 base-year values. Compare the existing

2025–2026 Colorado appraisal cycle
How Boulder County Values Property for the 2026 Tax Year
Sales Base Period
Residential and other market evidence was studied from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024.
Time-trended sales are adjusted to the appraisal date.
Appraisal Date
The probable market value is estimated as of June 30, 2024.
This appraisal date is used for both the 2025 and 2026 tax years.
Property Condition Date
The Assessor values the property as it physically exists on January 1, 2026.
New construction, demolition or classification changes can affect the intervening-year record.
2026 Actual Value
Most unchanged properties retain the 2025 actual value.
Changed properties receive an updated 2026 Notice of Valuation.
Comparable-sales evidence: Use sales from the official July 1, 2022–June 30, 2024 base period and the county’s time-trended prices rather than relying only on a later 2025 or 2026 sale.
Current-market misunderstanding: A 2026 property value is not an estimate of what the property would sell for on August 6, 2026. It reflects June 30, 2024 market conditions and the property’s Jan. 1, 2026 physical condition.

How Boulder County Property Taxes Are Calculated
Residential school rate
The published assessment rate for school-district taxes is 7.05% for both the 2025 and 2026 tax years.
2025 local-government rate
Residential taxes paid in 2026 use a 6.25% rate for county, city, fire and other local-government districts.
2026 local-government rate
The 2026 tax year, payable in 2027, uses a 6.8% rate after a local-government value reduction equal to 10% of the first $700,000 in residential actual value.

One mill: One mill equals $1 of tax for every $1,000 of assessed value. A parcel can be served by many taxing authorities, so its total mill levy depends on location.
Do not multiply the entire residential value by one rate: Colorado’s current system separates school taxes from local-government taxes and can apply a value adjustment only to the local-government calculation.

Senior, Veteran and Gold Star Spouse Property-Tax Relief
50%
Senior Homestead Exemption
Exempts 50% of the first $200,000 in actual value, for a maximum $100,000 actual-value exemption.
65+
Senior qualification
For 2026, the applicant generally must have been born on or before Jan. 1, 1961 and owned and occupied the home for ten continuous years.
VET
Veteran with a qualifying disability
A qualifying veteran with a 100% permanent service-connected disability can receive the constitutional exemption.
GS
Gold Star or surviving spouse
Qualifying spouses can apply under the applicable Colorado senior or veteran-related exemption rules.
Senior on-time deadline
July 15, 2026 — passed.
Senior late deadline
August 15, 2026 — still available as of this article’s review date.
Veteran-related deadline
July 1, 2026 — passed for the 2026 tax year.
When the benefit appears: A qualifying exemption for tax year 2026 first appears on the Treasurer’s tax notice issued in early 2027.
Trust or entity transfer: Moving the property into a trust, LLC or another legal entity can require a new senior exemption application. Do not assume a prior approval continues automatically after a title change.
Qualified Senior Primary Residence Classification: This temporary program can provide similar relief to certain seniors who previously qualified for the senior exemption but lost eligibility after moving. The 2026 on-time March 15 and late July 15 filing periods have passed.
Postpone rather than cancel tax
Senior and Active-Duty Military Property-Tax Deferrals
Senior property-tax deferral
A qualifying senior homeowner can apply to defer eligible property taxes through the Colorado program administered with the County Treasurer.
Active-duty military deferral
Eligible active-duty personnel can apply to postpone qualified taxes until the property is sold, transferred or another repayment event occurs.
A deferral is a loan: Deferred taxes are not forgiven. The Colorado State Treasurer manages the deferral loan, and interest applies until repayment.
Application timing: Beginning with taxes payable in 2026, Boulder County Treasurer again accepts applications. The county describes an annual application window from January through approximately mid-March.
Current position: The normal application period for taxes payable in 2026 has passed. Contact the Treasurer before the next January cycle to confirm eligibility and required documents.

2026 real-property appeal route
How Boulder County Property Valuation Appeals Work
Review the NOV
Check actual value, classification, property facts and the June 30, 2024 appraisal date.
Assessor appeal
Real-property appeals were accepted May 1 through June 8, 2026.
Notice of Determination
The Assessor must mail decisions on timely appeals by August 15.
Board of Equalization
A dissatisfied owner must submit a written BOE appeal by September 15.
Evidence checklist
- Full-page Notice of Valuation
- Assessor property report
- Official market-area number
- Time-trended comparable sales
- Photographs showing condition
- Repair estimates
- Correct building measurements
- Permit or demolition records
- Classification evidence
- Written requested actual value
Comparable period: Use sales from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024 and the county’s time-trended prices when challenging a 2025 or 2026 value.
Late Assessor appeal: Filing after June 8 can cause the owner to lose further appeal rights. A factual property-description correction does not automatically reopen the ordinary valuation appeal period.
After the BOE: A BOE decision can generally be challenged within 30 days through the Colorado Board of Assessment Appeals, district court or binding arbitration route.
“I filed a timely 2026 appeal for Boulder County account __________. My Notice of Determination shows __________. My requested actual value is __________ based on the attached time-trended comparable sales and property-condition evidence. Please confirm the September 15 BOE filing requirements.”

How to Correct an Owner Name or Mailing Address
Mailing-address change
Use Boulder County’s Just Appraised address-change system. The submitted change is sent to both the Assessor and Treasurer.
Simple mailing correction
The Assessor can also receive a request containing the account or site address, current mailing address and corrected mailing address.
Owner-name typo
Contact the Assessor when the recorded deed is correct but the property database contains a simple clerical error.

A deed generally must be recorded with the Clerk & Recorder. An address-change form cannot transfer legal title.
Search the Assessor record.
Copy the exact account, parcel, owner, situs address and current mailing address.
Determine whether the issue is address or title.
A mailing correction is administrative. An ownership change normally requires a recorded deed.
Submit the correct request.
Use Just Appraised for an address update or the Recording Division for a deed.
Keep the confirmation.
Save the submitted form, email, deed reception number or recording receipt.
Verify both systems.
Recheck the Assessor property record and Treasurer tax account after processing.

Title-specific answers
Boulder County Property Assessor Search and Tax Records FAQs
1. How do I search Boulder County Assessor property records?
Use the official Boulder County Property Search. Enter a property address, owner name, street name, subdivision, Assessor account number, 12-digit parcel number or section-township-range, or zoom to the location and select the parcel on the map.
2. What information appears in a Boulder County property record?
The property profile can show ownership, mailing and situs addresses, account and parcel numbers, legal description, lot size, subdivision, market area, property characteristics, actual values, school and non-school assessed values, estimated taxes, taxing authorities, sales, deeds, zoning, septic, permit, floodplain and survey information.
3. What is the difference between a Boulder County account number and parcel number?
The Assessor account number identifies a taxable property account. The parcel number is a 12-digit number identifying a parcel of land and may not be unique to every building or account associated with that parcel. Verify both when multiple results appear.
4. How is Boulder County property valued for the 2026 tax year?
For 2026, the Assessor values the property as it existed on January 1, 2026 and estimates what it would have sold for on June 30, 2024. Most properties with no condition or classification change retain their 2025 actual value.
5. Why does a Boulder County residential property show two assessed values?
Colorado currently uses separate calculations for school-district taxes and other local-government taxes. For tax year 2025, paid in 2026, residential property uses a 7.05% school assessment rate and a 6.25% local-government assessment rate.
6. When were Boulder County property taxes due in 2026?
Owners choosing two installments owed the first half by March 2, 2026 and the second half by June 15, 2026. Owners choosing one full payment owed it by April 30, 2026. Late payments require the current Treasurer payoff.
7. What are the Boulder County online property-tax payment fees?
The Treasurer currently lists no fee for an online eCheck, a 3.29% credit-card fee with a $5.20 minimum and a 1.33% debit-card fee with a $1.45 minimum. Review the payment screen before authorization.
8. How much is the Boulder County Senior Homestead Exemption?
The exemption removes 50% of the first $200,000 in actual value of a qualifying primary residence, for a maximum exemption of $100,000 in actual value. The late 2026 application deadline is August 15.
9. How do I appeal a Boulder County 2026 property value?
The Assessor appeal period ran from May 1 through June 8, 2026. Timely filers receive a Notice of Determination by August 15. An owner who disagrees with that determination can file a written appeal with the Board of Equalization by September 15, 2026.
10. Where do I search Boulder County deeds and liens?
Use the Boulder County Clerk & Recorder Public Search. Search by grantor or grantee name, subdivision, document type, document number or recording-date range. Free watermarked images are available, and clean or certified copies can be ordered for the applicable fee.
