Keep reading to learn what you need to know about these tax assessment and what you could do to protest it.
The tax assessed value is the value that you are paying property taxes on. All of the mills that are added to property in your area such as schools, fire districts, etc. are multiplied by this assessed value for the amount you will owe. For most Northern Colorado Residents, the new tax amount will likely be hundred of dollars more per month than the previous amount. Since most mortgage companies collect these taxes as part of your monthly payment, the actual amount you pay monthly to your mortgage company will be higher.
Home values

If you believe that the actually value of your home is less than the value the county assessed, you can fight it. You only have until Just 8th to contest the new value so you need to act quickly.

The first thing you need to do to properly fight this home assessment, is find comparable sales in the timeline that the assessment was conducted.
