Clear Creek County Colorado Property Search
To search Clear Creek County property records, use the tool below by owner name, parcel (schedule) number, or street address. Clear Creek County sits in the mountains just west of Denver along the I-70 corridor, and its towns — Georgetown, Idaho Springs, and Silver Plume — are historic 1859 gold-rush mining communities. It’s a small mountain county with about 5,200 residential and 200 commercial properties and an effective 2025 property tax rate of roughly 0.45%. Records are kept by the Clear Creek County Assessor in Georgetown.

Partial info works — a last name or street name is enough.
Note: Results come from Colorado’s public GIS database and may not reflect the most recent changes. For verified records, contact the county assessor directly.
How Property Is Assessed in Clear Creek County
The Clear Creek County Assessor values residential and commercial property, with a full reappraisal in odd-numbered years. County appraisers do exterior field inspections and take photos to keep records accurate, especially after a sale or new construction. For more, see our guide on understanding Colorado property tax.
Two things are worth knowing here. First, to save on printing and postage, Clear Creek sends a postcard-style Notice of Valuation rather than the long mailed notice — you can review your full property characteristics through the online record search, or request the long notice from the Assessor. Second, for tax year 2026, residential actual values (for local-government purposes) are reduced by 10% of the first $700,000 of value, which lowers what your taxes are calculated on.
Each parcel 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.
