Plata County Property Assessor 2026: Search & Tax Records

La Plata County Colorado Property Records 2026

La Plata County CO Assessor Search, EagleWeb, GIS and Property Tax Records

The correct jurisdiction is La Plata County, Colorado. Assessor Carrie Woodson’s office maintains the county’s real-property valuation and assessment records, and its EagleWeb database gives owners, buyers and researchers several useful ways to locate a parcel—including account number, parcel number, owner, business, situs address, subdivision and legal-description searches.

Property research does not end with the Assessor. Treasurer/Public Trustee Moni Grushkin maintains the separate property-tax system, while Clerk & Recorder Tiffany Lee’s office maintains deeds and other recorded land documents. The county GIS map adds parcel, terrain, utility and other spatial context useful for Durango-area, rural, mountain and agricultural property research.

2026 Assessment Appeals Are Over, but a New Colorado Property-Tax Law Takes Effect Today

The ordinary 2026 real-property protest period has already closed. Under the law and calendar in effect during the spring 2026 valuation cycle, Colorado real-property protests ran through June 8, 2026.
2025–2026 values Colorado county assessors use a June 30, 2024 level of value for these two tax years.
2026 protest The spring 2026 Assessor protest deadline has passed.
August 12, 2026 SB26-046 becomes effective and changes several future property-tax administration deadlines.
2026 assessment Generally appears on the tax statement payable in 2027.
SB26-046 does not reopen the completed spring 2026 protest period. The act changes the statutory real-property protest deadline from June 8 to June 1 going forward. Always follow the date on your next official Notice of Valuation because mailing dates and any county alternate procedures can affect the exact workflow.
Senior/veteran deadline alert: the new law aligns regular application deadlines for several qualifying senior and veteran programs at July 15 and allows late applications through August 15. Because today is August 12, an otherwise eligible owner who has not applied should contact the La Plata County Assessor immediately rather than assuming the 2026 opportunity is gone.
Three different timelines: the tax statement being paid during 2026 generally concerns the 2025 tax year; the 2026 assessment is the next valuation year; and that 2026 assessment generally feeds the bill paid in 2027.
Route the property question correctly

Assessor vs Treasurer/Public Trustee vs Clerk & Recorder

Assessor

  • Property search
  • Actual / market value
  • Taxable assessed value
  • Property classification
  • Building and land data
  • Sales research
  • Valuation protests
  • Senior/veteran exemptions

Treasurer / Public Trustee

  • Property-tax bill
  • Payment status
  • Tax receipts
  • Delinquent taxes
  • Tax lien sale
  • TaxWeb search
  • Public Trustee functions
  • Current payoff amounts

Clerk & Recorder

  • Deeds
  • Deeds of trust
  • Liens
  • Releases
  • Easements
  • Recorded plats
  • Legal instruments
  • Recorded-document copies
Most common mistake: an EagleWeb owner name is an assessment record—not a title opinion. Use the Clerk & Recorder’s recorded land documents when legal ownership, liens, easements or deed restrictions matter.

Jump to the La Plata County Property Information You Need

Official Assessor property database

How to Search La Plata County Property Records in EagleWeb

Open La Plata County EagleWeb. Go to La Plata County Assessor EagleWeb.
Enter as little identifying information as necessary. EagleWeb’s own help page recommends keeping searches simple and adding criteria only when results are too broad.
Use Account Number when you have it. EagleWeb shows an account-number format such as R14005.
Use Parcel Number without dashes. EagleWeb’s example is 399305211076.
For an owner search, enter last name first. For Harvey Smith, EagleWeb recommends entering Smith Harvey or simply Smith.
For an address, start with the house number. Add the street name only if necessary, and try it without a street designation such as Road, Street or Drive.
Open the correct account. Match situs address, owner, parcel number and legal description before relying on value.
Review value, classification and property details. Check the correct tax year before comparing a value to a Treasurer tax statement.
Use Sales Search for comparable transactions. The separate sales interface can narrow results by subdivision, sale date and sale price.
Move to TaxWeb for live tax status. The Assessor system itself links users toward the separate Treasurer tax database.
Browser requirement: EagleWeb requires cookies and uses JavaScript-dependent functions. If the portal looks incomplete, enable JavaScript/cookies and reload rather than assuming the property database is offline.
Assessment disclaimer: EagleWeb warns that its taxable values are provided for assessment purposes and may not represent a current-day market offer or appraisal.
Use the strongest search key

La Plata EagleWeb Search Field Decoder

Account Number Enter the Assessor account in the displayed format, such as R14005.
Parcel Number Enter digits without dashes. This is often the cleanest parcel-specific search.
Owner Name Enter surname first. Start with the surname alone for common formatting problems.
Business Name EagleWeb provides a separate business-name field.
Situs Address Start with house number; then add the core street name without designation.
Subdivision Begin typing the subdivision and select a matching value from the available list.
Block / Lot Combine subdivision with block and lot. EagleWeb can accept lot ranges such as 12:30.
Section / Township / Range Useful for tract-style rural legal descriptions.
Wildcard: EagleWeb supports the * character when spelling or text is uncertain.
Normal vs Advanced: Normal search preserves the order of the words entered. Advanced search behaves more like a search engine and can return words in different order.
Comparable-property research

How to Use La Plata County EagleWeb Sales Search

EagleWeb includes a dedicated Sales Search option in the upper-right area of the Assessor system. This is more useful than manually opening random neighboring parcels when you need valuation evidence.

Subdivision Search Search one or more subdivisions and combine the result with other filters.
Sale Date Range Narrow transactions to a period relevant to the county’s valuation date.
Sale Price Range Enter whole-number prices without dollar signs, commas or decimals.
Useful result fields: EagleWeb says sale-search results can provide sale information, book/page or reception number, legal description and a direct link back to the Assessor account.
For a valuation argument: similarity matters more than simply finding the lowest-priced sale. Compare location, acreage, living area, quality, condition, age, property type, utilities, access and sale timing.

Six Checks Before You Trust a La Plata County Parcel Result

Account Correct record.
Parcel Exact PIN.
Situs Physical location.
Owner Assessment name.
Legal Correct tract/lot.
Tax Year Correct cycle.
Rural property warning: a mailing address, parcel polygon or abbreviated legal description is not enough to resolve access, easement or boundary disputes. Read the recorded deed/plat and obtain a survey when those issues matter.
County parcel and geographic context

Use the La Plata County GIS Map Alongside EagleWeb

Parcel location Confirm the general shape and position of the selected parcel.
Nearby parcels Identify neighboring property accounts for follow-up research.
Infrastructure context County GIS services include useful water/sewer and other operational map layers.
Planning context Map layers can supplement zoning, jurisdiction and land-use research.
Open La Plata County GIS Match the parcel to EagleWeb, zoom to the property and inspect available map layers.
GIS is not a legal survey. Parcel lines in an online map are a research aid. Use recorded survey/plat data and a licensed surveyor for legal boundary decisions.

What La Plata County Assessment Fields Mean

Field What it tells you What to verify
Account Number Assessor account identifier. Use the exact account when contacting the office.
Parcel Number Parcel-specific numeric identifier. Enter without dashes in EagleWeb search.
Owner Name Owner shown in assessment records. Latest recorded deed for legal title.
Situs Address Physical property-location address. Do not confuse with mailing address.
Actual Value Assessor’s market-value conclusion for the applicable valuation cycle. Correct tax year and level-of-value date.
Assessed / Taxable Value Statutory property-tax calculation amount after Colorado valuation rules. Do not apply one generic residential percentage.
Legal Description Abbreviated recorded-property description. Recorded deed/plat for full legal language.
Sale Transaction information available to the Assessor. Reception/book-page and whether sale was market-representative.
2025–2026 Colorado valuation cycle

La Plata County 2026 Values Use a June 30, 2024 Level of Value

June 30, 2024 The market level used for Colorado’s 2025–2026 real-property cycle.
2025 Reassessment Odd-numbered 2025 was the broad reassessment year.
2026 Intervening Year Values generally carry forward, with changes for new construction, corrections and other qualifying events.
2027 Tax Bill The 2026 taxable assessment is generally billed the following year.
2026 Notice of Valuation: in an even-numbered intervening year, a separate May Notice of Valuation is generally associated with property whose value/classification changed from the prior year, such as new construction. Do not assume no mailed notice means the parcel disappeared from the assessment roll.
Current asking price is not the valuation date. A 2026 listing or sale can be useful context, but the statutory appraisal is tied to the June 30, 2024 market level for this assessment cycle.
Colorado’s 2026 formula is no longer one simple percentage

How La Plata County Property Value Becomes a Tax Bill

1. Actual Value Assessor establishes actual value using Colorado appraisal requirements.
2. Statutory Valuation State law applies the relevant property classification, valuation percentage and any value reduction.
3. Exemptions Qualifying senior, veteran and other exemptions can reduce taxable assessment.
4. Mill Levies Taxing districts apply their certified mill levies to taxable assessed value.
Do not use a single generic “Colorado residential assessment rate” for a 2026 estimate. Current Colorado law can apply different residential valuation calculations to school-district levies and non-school local-government levies, with statutory value reductions also affecting the calculation.
One mill: $1 of tax for each $1,000 of taxable assessed value. The actual combined mill levy depends on the school, fire, county, municipality and special districts serving the parcel.
Best estimate: use EagleWeb’s current taxable values together with the Treasurer’s actual statement rather than rebuilding the calculation from market value alone.
2026 protest period closed

La Plata County Property Assessment Protest and Appeal Route

The ordinary spring 2026 real-property protest deadline was June 8, 2026 under the law then in effect. That deadline has passed.
NOV / tax notice Review value and classification promptly.
2026 protest Ordinary spring 2026 deadline has passed.
Assessor reply Review Notice of Determination.
County appeal Petition County Board of Equalization by the deadline on the determination.
Further appeal State Board of Assessment Appeals, arbitration or district court may be available.
New June 1 rule SB26-046 changes the statutory real-property protest date going forward.

Evidence to prepare before disputing value

  • Correct parcel/account number
  • Notice of Valuation
  • Comparable sales
  • Independent appraisal
  • Building measurements
  • Condition photographs
  • Repair estimates
  • Access/easement evidence
  • Water/septic limitations
  • Land/topography evidence
An appeal challenges value or classification—not the tax rate. Mill levies are set by taxing entities. The Assessor’s role is the property value/classification side of the equation.
Missed the protest deadline? Do not backdate or submit a normal protest as though it were timely. Ask the Assessor whether a correction, abatement/refund process or another statutory remedy fits the facts.
“I am reviewing La Plata County account __________ / parcel __________. The 2026 actual value is __________. I believe a factual correction or other available review is needed because __________. Please tell me which process remains available after the completed 2026 protest period.”
Colorado senior property tax relief

Senior Property Tax Exemption and 2026 Senior Classification

Traditional Senior Property Tax Exemption

  • For 2026, a qualifying senior generally must have been born on or before January 1, 1961.
  • The applicant generally must have owned and occupied the home as a primary residence continuously since January 1, 2016 or earlier.
  • Qualifying relief exempts 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value of the primary residence.
  • Certain surviving spouses and medical-necessity situations have separate eligibility rules.
August 15 late-application alert: SB26-046, effective August 12, aligns regular application deadlines for the affected senior/veteran programs at July 15 and permits late applications through August 15. Contact the La Plata County Assessor immediately if you may qualify and have not filed.
Moved after previously receiving the senior exemption? Colorado also has a temporary Qualified Senior Primary Residence Classification for tax years 2025 and 2026 for certain seniors who previously received the Senior Exemption but lost it after moving. This classification provides similar relief for eligible owners.
Do not assume statewide portability is permanent law. A separate proposal to expand senior-exemption portability is headed to Colorado voters in the 2026 general election. The future constitutional proposal should not be confused with the limited 2025–2026 senior classification that is already in effect.
Colorado Senior & Veteran Exemption Guidance Review current eligibility and forms, then submit the applicable application to the La Plata County Assessor.
Veteran, Gold Star and surviving-spouse relief

Colorado Veteran Property Tax Exemption in La Plata County

Qualifying veteran A veteran meeting Colorado’s required service-connected disability standard can qualify if the home is the primary residence.
Relief amount For a qualifying applicant, 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value of the primary residence is exempt.
Surviving spouse / Gold Star Colorado provides relief for certain qualifying surviving spouses under separate statutory/constitutional requirements.
Current filing alert: the August 15 late deadline created/aligned by SB26-046 may still matter to a qualifying 2026 applicant as of August 12. Verify immediately with the Assessor rather than waiting for the 2027 tax statement.
Keep sensitive records secure. Veteran/senior applications can require identity and eligibility documents. Follow the Assessor or state form instructions rather than sending sensitive documents to an unverified email address.
Treasurer/Public Trustee Moni Grushkin

Search and Pay La Plata County Property Taxes

The normal 2026 tax-payment deadlines have passed as of August 12. Colorado property taxes may ordinarily be paid in full by April 30 or in two equal installments, with the first due by the last day of February and the second by June 15.
Find the Assessor parcel first. Copy the account and parcel number from EagleWeb.
Open La Plata County Treasurer TaxWeb. Go to La Plata County Property Tax Search.
Locate the correct tax account. Match parcel/account, owner and property location.
Verify the tax year. Taxes paid during 2026 generally concern the 2025 tax year.
Review current balance and payment history. Do not rely on the original statement if a payment deadline has already passed.
Use the Treasurer’s live payoff for delinquency. Interest and fees can change the total due.
Complete payment using the current county-supported method. Follow TaxWeb/Treasurer instructions for the payment channel you select.
Save the receipt. Recheck the account after processing to verify posting.
Full payment Statutory deadline: April 30.
Two-payment option First half by the last day of February; second half by June 15.
Current status If any 2026 amount remains unpaid now, obtain a live delinquent balance from the Treasurer.
Do not use the proposed four-installment schedule sometimes found in online searches. Colorado HB25-1199 proposed a four-payment option but was postponed indefinitely and did not become law. The standard full-payment/two-installment schedule remains the relevant statewide framework.
Late taxes and tax lien research

What Happens When La Plata County Property Taxes Are Delinquent?

Interest begins Colorado law imposes delinquent interest according to the applicable payment schedule.
Treasurer controls payoff Use the live Treasurer account for the amount necessary to bring the parcel current.
Tax lien process Unpaid real-estate taxes can proceed toward the county’s statutory tax-lien-sale process.
A Colorado tax lien sale is not a normal house auction. A tax-lien certificate process and later Treasurer’s deed procedures are different from buying a home through an ordinary real-estate closing.
Public Trustee is also different. The Treasurer/Public Trustee office can have separate responsibilities involving deeds of trust and foreclosure processes. Do not mix a property-tax lien with a deed-of-trust foreclosure.
Treasurer & Public Trustee Verify current delinquent-tax, tax-lien and Public Trustee procedures before taking action.
Clerk & Recorder Tiffany Lee

Search La Plata County Deeds, Liens, Easements and Recorded Land Documents

The Clerk & Recorder is the correct office for recorded property instruments. Assessment ownership in EagleWeb is helpful for discovery, but deeds and other recorded instruments are the correct next step when legal rights matter.

Conveyance documents Deeds and other recorded transfers establish the documentary history of ownership.
Encumbrances Research deeds of trust, liens, releases and other recorded instruments.
Land documents Recorded plats, easements and related documents can affect access and use.
Start with EagleWeb. Save parcel number, owner, legal description and sale reception/book-page information when available.
Open the Clerk & Recorder’s official page. Use the county’s current Recording/Land Records route rather than a third-party people-search site.
Follow the county-linked document-search service. La Plata County provides online recorded-document access through its land-record system.
Search parties and document details. Confirm grantee/grantor, dates, reception number and property description.
Review related instruments. A deed alone may not reveal easements, releases, liens or deeds of trust.
Order an official copy when needed. Verify current copy/certification fees directly with the Recorder before ordering.
La Plata County Clerk & Recorder Open the county’s current recording and land-record search options.
Especially important outside urban Durango

Rural and Mountain Property Checks the Assessor Record Does Not Answer

Legal access Confirm public-road access or recorded easements instead of assuming a visible road creates a legal right.
Water / well Research well permits, water source, water rights and shared systems where applicable.
Septic Determine whether the parcel uses an onsite wastewater system and whether existing permits match improvements.
Wildfire / terrain Mountain slope, vegetation, access and fire-mitigation conditions can materially affect use and insurance.
Flood / drainage Review flood hazards, streams, drainage and Animas River or tributary proximity where relevant.
Zoning / land use Confirm county or municipal zoning before planning a home, ADU, short-term rental or business use.
Mineral interests Surface ownership does not automatically prove ownership of every mineral interest.
Survey Obtain professional boundary work for acreage, encroachment or building-site decisions.
Permit research: La Plata County’s Community Development Web Portal can help with building and planning records. For development questions, the county Community Development Department lists 970-382-6250 at 211 Rock Point Drive in Durango.

10 La Plata County answers

La Plata County Property Assessor Search & Tax Records FAQs

1. How do I search La Plata County property records?

Use the official La Plata County Assessor EagleWeb database. You can search using an account number, parcel number, owner name, business name, situs address, subdivision or legal-description information. After finding the parcel, use the separate county GIS map for spatial context and Treasurer TaxWeb for current property-tax information.

2. Can I search La Plata County property by owner name?

Yes. EagleWeb allows owner-name searching. Enter the last name first—for example, Smith Harvey—or start with only the surname. EagleWeb provides both Normal and Advanced search modes, and the asterisk can be used as a wildcard when spelling is uncertain.

3. Who is the La Plata County Assessor in 2026?

Carrie Woodson is the current La Plata County Assessor. The Assessor’s Office is at 679 Turner Drive, Suite A, Durango, Colorado 81303. The main telephone number is 970-382-6221.

4. What valuation date is used for La Plata County property in 2026?

Colorado’s 2025 and 2026 real-property assessment cycle uses a June 30, 2024 level of value. The broad reassessment occurred in 2025, while 2026 is the intervening year in the cycle. Property can still change in 2026 for new construction, corrections, classification changes and other qualifying events.

5. What was the La Plata County 2026 property assessment protest deadline?

Under the law in effect during the spring 2026 cycle, the ordinary real-property protest period ended June 8, 2026. That period is closed. Owners with a remaining issue should contact the Assessor to determine whether a correction, abatement/refund procedure or another statutory remedy is available.

6. What changed under Colorado SB26-046 on August 12, 2026?

SB26-046 takes effect August 12, 2026. Among other administrative changes, it changes the statutory real-property protest deadline from June 8 to June 1 going forward and aligns regular application deadlines for several qualifying senior and veteran programs at July 15, with late applications accepted through August 15. It does not reopen the already completed 2026 spring protest period.

7. When are La Plata County property taxes due?

Colorado property taxes can ordinarily be paid in full by April 30 or in two equal installments, with the first half due by the last day of February and the second half due by June 15. All of those normal 2026 deadlines have passed as of August 12, so an unpaid account should be checked directly in Treasurer TaxWeb for the current amount including applicable delinquent interest.

8. What is the Colorado senior property tax exemption in La Plata County?

A qualifying senior generally receives an exemption equal to 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value of the primary residence. For the 2026 tax year, a standard senior applicant generally must have been born on or before January 1, 1961 and have owned and occupied the property as a primary residence continuously since January 1, 2016 or earlier, subject to surviving-spouse and other statutory exceptions.

9. Where do I search La Plata County deeds and liens?

Use the La Plata County Clerk & Recorder’s land-record services for deeds, deeds of trust, releases, liens, easements, plats and other recorded instruments. EagleWeb may provide owner or reception clues, but recorded documents are the correct source for legal title research.

10. What should I do if my La Plata County property record is wrong?

Contact the Assessor for incorrect value, classification, owner-on-assessment, land or building data; contact the Treasurer for tax balances and payment records; and contact the Clerk & Recorder for deeds, liens and other recorded documents. Keep the account number, parcel number and supporting evidence ready.

County Property Search, Homestead & Tax Help Toolkit

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
No fake database or approval claim
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.
