Crowley County Colorado Property Search
To search Crowley County property records, use the tool below by owner name, parcel number, or street address. Crowley County sits on Colorado’s southeastern plains near the Arkansas River, with its county seat at Ordway. It has an unusual story: over the 1970s and ’80s many farmers sold off their irrigation water, which ended most large-scale farming and left a small property tax base. Today the county has about 1,616 residential and 67 commercial properties and a very low effective 2025 property tax rate of about 0.27%. Records are kept by the Crowley County Assessor in Ordway.

How Property Is Assessed in Crowley County
The Crowley County Assessor values residential, agricultural, and commercial property on Colorado’s two-year reappraisal cycle. Water history shapes value here more than in most counties: because so much irrigation water was sold decades ago, a large share of former farmland reverted to dryland or grazing, which changes how it’s classified and valued. Qualifying agricultural land is valued on production/earning capacity rather than market price, usually lowering the assessment. Our property tax basics guide covers how this works statewide.
Each parcel has a unique parcel number, which is the fastest and most accurate way to pull up ownership, land size, building details, and tax records. You can calculate your bill using our free tool.
