Who do I contact with questions about my property tax payment?

If you have questions concerning the valuation of your property, call the Assessor’s Office at (720) 913-4162.

Where can I find information on tax exemption, assistance, and refund programs?

Families, seniors, and people living with disabilities may qualify for the city's Property Tax Relief Program. 

People age 65 and older who have owned and lived in their home for more than ten years, may also qualify for a Senior Property Tax Exemption.

For information on different types of housing assistance, from mortgage to rental supports, visit the Help on Housing page.

When are property taxes due?

Taxes are billed in arrears; taxes assessed are due and payable January 1 of the following year.  For example, 2021 taxes are assessed January 1, 2021, but are not due and payable until January 1, 2022.  Property tax statements are mailed once a year in January.

 Taxes can be paid in a lump-sum payment or in two installments:  

  • If paid as a lump-sum, payment in full is due by April 30
  • If paid in installments, the first half is due by the last day of February and the second half is due by June 15

When paying by regular mail, the post office postmark will be considered the date of payment.

For a calendar of payment due dates and other deadlines, please see Denver's property tax calendar.

What happens if I don't pay my property taxes by the due date?

Once a payment is delinquent, interest accrues at the rate of 1% per month. The first half installment becomes delinquent on March 1 and the second half installment is due on June 15 of each year. If the entire amount of tax due is paid at one time on or before April 30, no delinquent interest will be charged on the first half installment.

What happens if I don't pay my property taxes?

If you do not pay your property taxes, you will owe delinquent interest at the rate of 1% per month and will receive a delinquency notice in July. Any unpaid taxes will be advertised for sale in the local newspaper and will be sold if they are still not paid by the day before the public tax lien auction. The public real estate tax lien auction is usually held in November.

The face value of a tax lien brought to auction is the sum of the unpaid taxes, delinquent interest, penalties (if applicable), and fees. After the auction you will owe monthly redemption interest on the face value of the lien until you redeem the property. Redemption interest is based on the Federal Reserve discount rate as of September 1 plus 9%.

What happens if my property taxes are sold at the property tax lien auction?

If your taxes are sold at the tax lien sale, you will owe the tax lien face value, redemption interest, redemption fee ($7.00), subsequent year endorsement fee ($5.00/year) if any, and any other fees associated with the deed process. 

Visit our Real Estate Tax Lien Sale page for more information on the real estate tax lien auction.

Why did I received a Special Assessment Statement?

If your property is within a local improvement district, a special assessment statement for the local improvements will be sent to you upon the completion of construction. Special assessments are billed separately from ad valorem property taxes.

Property owners have the option to defer payment over twelve (12) annual installments.

Both my mortgage company and I paid my property taxes. How do I get a refund?

The first payment received is applied toward the real estate property tax balance. If a subsequent payment is made, it will be applied to any remaining balance due. If payments are received in excess of the total balance due, refunds will be processed to the last payer.

How are my property taxes calculated?

Assessed Value x Mill Levy = Property Tax Due

To determine the tax due the Assessor first determines the ACTUAL value of your property.  Then, a percentage is applied to the actual value in order to arrive at the ASSESSED value of your property. 

  • Assessed value for residential property = 7.15% of actual value
  • Assessed value for commercial and business personal property = 29% of actual value

Your ASSESSED value is then multiplied by the current MILL LEVY to arrive at the property tax due.  Mill levies are set around December 15th each year by the various Denver taxing authorities such as the school district, city council, or special districts.

  • A mill = $1 for every $1,000 of assessed value

All taxable business personal and real estate property within Denver is subject to 74.618 mills for 2021 taxes due in 2022. If the property is located within a special district, local maintenance district, or business improvement district additional taxes are levied upon the property.

How can I check if I paid my LPT?

You can access the service through LPT online by following these steps: enter your PPSN, property ID and property PIN, and click 'Login'.
click on the 'View Property List'' button in the 'Local Property Tax' tab..
click on the 'Property ID'.
on the home screen, click the 'View Payment History' button..

How do I find my Indiana property tax?

The state Treasurer does not manage property tax. Please contact your county Treasurer's office. Go to http://www.in.gov/mylocal/ and choose your county to view a list of county Web sites.

How do I find my local property tax?

Your area's property tax levy can be found on your local tax assessor or municipality website, and it's typically represented as a percentage—like 4%. To estimate your real estate taxes, you merely multiply your home's assessed value by the levy.

Is property tax deductible IRAS?

Yes. This is provided that you have incurred an amount of deductible expense (excluding interest expense), such as property tax, in deriving your rental income.
