The Park County Assessor's Office is responsible for:

  • Locating, valuing, and classifying all taxable property within Park County
  • Collecting and reporting all values to the special districts
  • Handling all requests from the public
  • Handling all property transfers for property owners

The Park County Assessor is an elected official, serving a 4-year term of office utilizing the guiding framework of Article X, Section 3 of the Colorado State Constitution. The Assessor must determine the fair market value of properties, applying consistent standards while adhering to the classification and assessment rates established for different property types, such as residential, commercial, or agricultural. This is done to ensure that all properties within the county is assessed uniformly and equitably according to Colorado Statutes. 

The Assessor does not determine the property tax rates because the Mill Levies (i.e. Tax Levies and/or Tax Rates) are set by the taxing authorities who are the County Commissioners (BOCC), School Boards, Town Council and Directors of Districts of which all are voted in by the taxpayers. Property Taxes are calculated by multiplying the Assessor's Assessed Value times the tax rate which equals the tax amount you pay annually. By following these constitutional principles, the Assessor ensures compliance with state law, promotes fairness in taxation, and provides a stable foundation for local government revenue.
