Mineral County Colorado Property Search
To search Mineral County property records, use the tool below by owner name, parcel number, or property address. Mineral County is one of Colorado’s smallest counties by population — about 865 residents — and its county seat, Creede, is the only incorporated town in the entire county. Founded in 1892 as a silver-mining boomtown, Creede’s economy today runs on tourism and the arts, including the well-known Creede Repertory Theatre. Records are kept by the Mineral County Assessor in Creede.

How Property Is Assessed in Mineral County
The Mineral County Assessor values residential and commercial property on Colorado’s two-year reappraisal cycle. Because Creede is the only incorporated town, nearly all property in the county is either in-town (many historic buildings from the silver-mining era) or unincorporated mountain and forest land — a very different mix than a metro or agricultural county. See our Colorado property tax overview.
Each property has a unique parcel number (formatted like 123-45-678-910), which is the fastest and most accurate way to pull up ownership, land size, building details, and tax records.
