How Property Is Assessed in Jefferson County
The Jefferson County Assessor values residential, commercial, and land parcels, with a full reappraisal in odd-numbered years. For 2026, Colorado applies two residential assessment rates — 7.05% for school-district levies and 6.25% for local-government levies — so your actual value is multiplied by the applicable rate to get your assessed value, then taxed at the local mill levy. Our guide breaks down how Colorado property tax works.
Each property has a unique Schedule/Parcel Number, which is the fastest and most accurate way to pull up ownership, land size, building details, and tax records.
