We want to give you a heads up that next month (May, 2011) Colorado assessors will be mailing a Notice of Value to La Plata County property owners. These values will be based on market conditions from January 1, 2009 until June 30, 2010. This period of time is set by Colorado statute. Right now assessed value is set based on the 2008 level of value, as determined by market conditions during January 2007 to June 30, 2008, and that period showed much more positive market conditions than we have experienced since then. But, don't have high expectations that your taxes will go down given the new assessments based on the more current and negative market conditions. Everyone is part of the tax base, which goes up and down, like rising and falling tides, and the tax roll will be shaped based on mill levy elections for such things as our local Schools, the Business Improvement District, The Water Districts and the county market for oil and gas. Earlier this year it was reported that there has been a general drop of around 33% in oil and gas valuation which historically has born a huge proportion of La Plata property taxes. If you have questions about your Notice of Value you can contact the Office of the La Plata County Assessor, 970-382-6221.
