Park County Assessor Property Search, Tax Records, GIS Maps & Values

Use the Park County Assessor property search to find Colorado parcel and schedule information, property addresses, assessment records, actual and assessed values, legal descriptions and other property data for Fairplay, Bailey, Alma, Hartsel, Jefferson, Como, Lake George, Guffey and rural mountain properties throughout Park County.

For 2026, Park County is in the second year of Colorado’s 2025–2026 assessment cycle. Real property continues to use a June 30, 2024 level of value, while material property changes can produce a new 2026 Notice of Valuation. This guide connects the Assessor record with GIS, Treasurer tax records, Clerk & Recorder documents, exemptions, appeals and current delinquent-tax rules.

What Park County Property Owners Should Check Right Now

The regular 2026 real-property protest period has ended. Park County’s annual real-property protest window runs May 1 through June 8. The normal July 15 County Board of Equalization deadline has also passed, but a later Board of Assessment Appeals deadline may still matter for an owner who completed the earlier appeal stages.
2026 is not a full reappraisal year It is the second year of the 2025–2026 assessment cycle. Most unchanged parcels continue on the June 30, 2024 level of value.
Who receives a 2026 NOV? Properties with material 2025 changes such as new construction, demolition, replatting, reclassification or correction can receive a May 1, 2026 Notice of Valuation.
2026 assessment → 2027 tax bill The value shown for the 2026 assessment year becomes part of the property-tax calculation payable in 2027.
Taxes paid during 2026 Regular 2025 property taxes had first-half, full-payment and second-half deadlines earlier in 2026.
Current delinquent account If a 2025 tax balance remains unpaid in August 2026, use the Treasurer’s live account instead of calculating the payoff from the January statement.
Exemption deadlines Regular 2026 senior, disabled-veteran, surviving-spouse and Gold Star application dates have already passed.
Year-label trap: A 2026 Assessor value and a tax bill being paid in 2026 can refer to different tax cycles. Always check the assessment year, tax year and payable year before comparing two documents.

Schedule / Parcel Number Main county identifier used to reconnect the Assessor property with other county systems.
Property Address Physical parcel location when an assigned address exists.
Legal Description Important for rural, subdivision, mining and deed verification.

Address issue? Park County GIS notes that the legal description—not a physical address printed on a deed—is what legally describes the property.
Colorado two-year assessment cycle

Park County 2026 Property Valuation Cycle Explained

Colorado uses a two-year assessment cycle for taxable real property. The 2025 reappraisal established a new level of value, and 2026 is the intervening second year of that cycle.

Level of value date June 30, 2024 is the market-value level used for the 2025–2026 cycle.
2025 full NOV 2025 was the reappraisal year when Notices of Valuation went to all real-property owners.
Intervening year 2026 generally continues the same valuation level unless material property changes require adjustment.
2026 change NOV Properties with qualifying material changes can receive a 2026 Notice of Valuation.
Taxes payable The 2026 assessment becomes part of the tax calculation payable in 2027.

Examples of material changes that can affect 2026

New construction New buildings or major improvements can create a current-year adjustment.
Replatting Changes to parcel configuration can require updated assessment records.
Demolition Removal of structures can materially change the property record.
Reclassification A property-use or classification change can affect assessment treatment.
Correction Discovery that a parcel is not assessed at the correct level can produce an update.
Property data change Corrected characteristics can alter the Assessor’s final value.
Common mistake: A homeowner may see no new 2026 notice and assume the parcel has no 2026 value. In an intervening year, unchanged parcels can continue from the prior cycle without a new general reappraisal notice.
Colorado value-to-tax workflow

Actual Value, Assessment Rate, Assessed Value and Mill Levy

Actual Value The Assessor determines the fair-market-based actual value under Colorado valuation rules.
Assessment Rate The Colorado General Assembly establishes assessment rates by property class.
Assessed Value Actual value is adjusted by the applicable assessment rate to produce assessed value.
Mill Levy Taxing authorities apply their mill levies to assessed value to produce the property-tax amount.
One mill: A mill represents $1 of tax for each $1,000 of assessed value. A combined mill levy can include county, school, fire, town, water, recreation and other special-district levies.
Do not use one countywide mill levy: Park County has multiple tax districts. The official 2026 calculator asks you to select the tax district from the property record.
Official 2026 Park County Property Tax Calculator Enter the property class, tax district and actual value using current Assessor data.

Colorado property-tax payment choices

Park County Property Tax Due Dates

First Half First-half property tax is due by the last day of February when using the two-installment option.
Full Payment Pay the entire tax bill by April 30 when choosing the single-payment option.
Second Half The second half of the installment option is due June 15.
Weekend and holiday rule: Colorado allows a filing or remittance due on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday to be treated as timely on the next business day.
Taxes below $25: Park County states that a tax amount under $25 must be paid in full rather than split into two installments.
Lien added to the tax account? If a water, sewer, junk or similar lien has been added to the tax account, Park County requires the full amount rather than accepting only the base property tax.
Current August 2026 delinquency context

Park County Delinquent Property Tax Interest

Park County publishes different interest percentages depending on whether the taxpayer used the full-payment option or the two-installment option.

Use the Treasurer for the actual payoff: The percentages above reflect Park County’s published August interest table. Fees, tax liens, corrected statements or prior-year balances can change the exact amount required.
Corrected statement Park County states that a corrected tax statement is due 30 days after the date shown on that corrected statement.
Small delinquent balance An administrative fee of up to $25 can be added to qualifying delinquent payments under $50.
After August The county directs taxpayers to contact the Treasurer for the proper interest and other fees due.
“I need the exact Park County payoff for schedule number __________ through __________. Please confirm the unpaid tax, delinquent interest, fees, liens and total amount required to bring the account current.”

How Park County Property Assessment Appeals Work

Assessor Protest Real-property valuation or classification protests run May 1 through June 8.
Assessor Decision Park County states that Assessor determinations are mailed by the last working day in June.
County Board Real-property appeals from the Assessor determination are due to the County Board of Equalization by July 15.
Further Appeal A qualifying County Board case can proceed to the Colorado Board of Assessment Appeals or another allowed appeal route.
Current August 11, 2026 position: The ordinary May 1–June 8 Assessor protest deadline and July 15 real-property County Board deadline have passed.
Still in an active appeal? Park County’s County Board guidance identifies September 12 as an important Board of Assessment Appeals deadline when the required prior appeal steps have been completed. Verify your decision date and current rights before assuming the entire process is over.

What to gather for a valuation appeal

  • Current property record
  • Notice of Valuation
  • Comparable sales
  • Recent appraisal
  • Photos showing condition
  • Repair estimates
  • Correct square footage
  • Building and improvement details
  • Legal-description evidence
  • Classification evidence
Appeal the value—not estimated taxes: Park County’s online appeal guidance specifically distinguishes a valuation appeal from a complaint about the eventual tax amount.
“I am reviewing Park County schedule number __________ for 2026. The Assessor record shows actual value __________ and assessed value __________. I believe the value or classification is incorrect because __________. Please tell me which review or appeal remedy is still available.”
Post-assessment correction route

Missed the Normal Appeal? Review the Abatement Process

Park County maintains a separate Property Tax Appeal Process page with forms for a Petition for Abatement or Refund of Taxes.

1-year petition Park County provides a one-year Petition for Abatement or Refund form.
2-year petition A separate two-year petition form is also published.
Not a substitute for every missed protest Eligibility depends on Colorado law and the particular reason for correction or refund.
Open Park County Property Tax Appeal Process Review the Assessor protest and abatement/refund forms before filing.
Property-tax exemptions

Park County Senior, Disabled Veteran & Gold Star Exemptions

Colorado provides property-tax exemptions for qualifying seniors and specified military-related applicants. For qualifying exemptions, a portion of the primary residence’s actual value can be exempted from property taxation.

Senior Citizen Generally requires age 65 by January 1 plus qualifying long-term ownership and primary-residence occupancy.
Disabled Veteran Qualifying veterans generally need a 100% permanent-and-total service-connected disability rating and other eligibility requirements.
Surviving Spouse Certain surviving spouses of qualifying disabled veterans can apply under Colorado rules.
Gold Star Spouse Qualifying Gold Star spouses can apply when the owner-occupied primary-residence requirements are met.
Exemption amount: Park County explains that qualifying senior and disabled-veteran exemptions can exempt 50% of the first $200,000 of actual value of the primary residence, subject to program funding and eligibility.
Senior deadline July 15 of the application year.
Disabled Veteran deadline July 1 of the application year.
Gold Star / qualifying surviving spouse July 1 of the applicable tax year.
2026 regular deadlines have passed: Contact the Assessor before assuming you must wait an entire year; your facts may involve an existing exemption, transfer, surviving-spouse rule or another special circumstance.
Senior Exemption Review qualification rules and application guidance. Disabled Veteran Exemption Review current eligibility and filing instructions. Gold Star Spouse Exemption Review current owner-occupancy and filing rules.
Different from an exemption

Colorado Property Tax Deferral in Park County

Eligible seniors age 65 and older and qualifying active-duty military service members may be able to defer real-property tax through Colorado’s Property Tax Deferral Program.

It is a loan The program defers taxes through a low-interest state loan rather than eliminating the tax.
Junior lien The deferred amount is secured by a junior lien on the property until repaid.
2026 application period Park County states that the Treasurer accepted 2026 applications from January 1 through April 1.
Deferral ≠ Senior Exemption: The exemption reduces qualifying taxable value. The deferral postpones payment through a loan that must ultimately be repaid.

Park County Mining Claims, Rural Acreage & Vacant Land

Use Schedule Number first A schedule number is more reliable than a road address for vacant or old mining parcels.
Check the legal description Mining claims and old rural tracts can require section, township, range or recorded-description research.
Use GIS and Assessor together GIS adds geographic context, while the Assessor provides the tax-parcel record.
Check public-land context Park County contains extensive federal and public land, making map context especially important.
Do not trust deed address alone Park County GIS says the legal description—not the physical address—is the legal property description.
Recorded mining records The Clerk & Recorder is the office for mining patents and recorded real-estate documents.

Park County Property Search Problems and Practical Fixes

Problem What to do Correct office
Property search returns several parcels Compare schedule number, address, legal description, value and GIS location. Assessor
Do not know the Schedule Number Search the property by address and copy the parcel/schedule number from the property record. Assessor
Vacant land has no reliable address Use schedule number, legal description and GIS instead of relying on a situs address. Assessor + GIS
Address on deed looks wrong Ask GIS to verify the physical address and use the legal description as the legal property reference. GIS + Recorder
2026 value looks unchanged Remember 2026 is an intervening year. Unchanged parcels generally continue the 2025–26 valuation level. Assessor
New construction is missing Contact the Assessor because new construction is a material property change that can require an updated 2026 value. Assessor
Tax estimate does not match bill Verify assessment rate, assessed value, tax district, exemptions and every mill levy. Assessor + Treasurer
Tax bill was never received Search the Treasurer immediately. Failure to receive the statement does not remove the tax or delinquent interest. Treasurer
Mortgage company should have paid Verify the Treasurer’s posted payment and contact the lender because Park County does not bill mortgage lenders directly. Treasurer + lender
2025 taxes remain unpaid in August 2026 Use the live Treasurer payoff. Current delinquent interest depends on the payment option and other account charges. Treasurer
Regular 2026 appeal deadline passed Determine whether a County Board/BAA appeal is already pending or whether an abatement/refund remedy applies. Assessor / CBOE
Need recorded deed or lien Use the Clerk & Recorder online document search or research at the Fairplay office. Clerk & Recorder
Need plat map Use Assessor/GIS resources; the Recorder’s subscription document search says plats are not available online there. Assessor + GIS
Need tax receipt for STR or closing Open the Treasurer property account and generate the Statement of Taxes Due or receipt. Treasurer
“I am reviewing Park County schedule number __________ at __________. The Assessor, GIS, tax account or deed shows __________, but my supporting record shows __________. Please tell me whether this belongs with assessment, mapping, Treasurer tax records or recorded documents.”

Park County Assessor Property Search FAQs

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

Open the official Park County Assessor page and choose Search Property Data. Search with the property address or parcel/schedule number, open the matching property sheet and verify the Schedule Number, legal description, actual value, assessed value and tax district.

2. What is a Park County Schedule Number?

The Schedule Number is the parcel number shown near the top of the Park County Assessor property record. It is a useful identifier for property research, tax records and county applications.

3. Is 2026 a Park County reappraisal year?

No. 2025 was Colorado’s reappraisal year for the current two-year cycle. Park County identifies 2026 as the intervening second year of the 2025–2026 cycle, using a June 30, 2024 level of value. Material property changes can still create a new 2026 valuation.

4. Why did I receive a 2026 Notice of Valuation if 2026 is not a reappraisal year?

Park County explains that a 2026 notice can be issued when a property experienced a material change during 2025, including new construction, replatting, demolition, reclassification or discovery that the property was not being assessed at the correct level of value.

5. What is the difference between actual value and assessed value in Park County?

Actual value is the Assessor’s property value under Colorado appraisal rules. The applicable state assessment rate is then applied to actual value to produce assessed value. Taxing authorities apply mill levies to assessed value to calculate property tax.

6. When can I appeal a Park County real-property value?

The regular Park County real-property protest period runs from May 1 through June 8. If the Assessor’s determination is still disputed, the ordinary County Board of Equalization deadline for real property is July 15.

7. Where do I look up and pay Park County property taxes?

The Park County Treasurer & Public Trustee handles the actual tax statement and payment. Use the county’s online tax-payment system to search by owner, address or schedule number, verify the tax year and balance, then print a receipt or make payment.

8. When are Park County property taxes due?

Property owners can generally pay the full bill by April 30 or use two installments: the first half by the last day of February and the second half by June 15. Taxes below $25 must be paid in full.

9. What property-tax exemptions are available in Park County?

Colorado exemptions available through Park County include qualifying senior-citizen, disabled-veteran, disabled-veteran-surviving-spouse and Gold Star spouse programs. Eligibility and filing rules differ by program.

10. How do I find a deed or lien for Park County property?

Find the property first through the Assessor and save the Schedule Number and legal description. Then use the Park County Clerk & Recorder Online Document Search for recorded deeds, liens and other documents from 1968 to present, or conduct research at the Fairplay office.

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.
