How Property Is Assessed in El Paso County
The El Paso County Assessor values residential, commercial, and vacant property, with a full reappraisal in odd-numbered years. Your 2025 value is in effect for tax year 2026 and uses a 2023 base year, with a data-gathering period running January 1, 2023 through June 30, 2024. In even (intervening) years, only properties that have changed receive a new Notice of Valuation. Our guide explains how Colorado property tax works.
Each property has a unique parcel (schedule) number, which is the fastest and most accurate way to pull up ownership, land size, building details, and tax records.

May–early June — The window to appeal your value to the Assessor is open (real property appeals are generally due in early June — confirm the exact date each year). You can appeal through the online appeal system.
If denied: you can go to the County Board of Equalization, then the Board of Assessment Appeals, district court, or binding arbitration. You must appeal a CBOE decision within 30 days of the decision letter.
Handy option: the Assessor’s office has a drive-up drop box, so you can deposit senior/veteran exemption applications, appeals, business personal property declarations, and correspondence from your car. For most records, the office suggests contacting them directly rather than filing a formal CORA request, which can be slower and costlier.

Exemptions & Tax Relief
Homeowners 65 or older who have owned and lived in their home for 10 consecutive years can have 50% of the first $200,000 of value exempted. The state reimburses the county, and it’s funded for 2026.
Veterans with a 100% permanent service-connected disability get the same 50% exemption on the first $200,000. Given El Paso County’s large military and veteran population (Fort Carson, Peterson Space Force Base, Air Force Academy, NORAD), this exemption is widely used here.
Surviving spouses of service members who died in the line of duty may also qualify for property tax relief. Given the strong military presence in El Paso County, this is a meaningful benefit for many families here.
