Gunnison County Colorado Property Search
To search Gunnison County property records, use the tool below by owner name, parcel number, or street address. Gunnison County spans the central Colorado mountains — from the Crested Butte ski area, one of the state’s classic ski and wildflower towns, down to the working cattle ranches of the Gunnison valley (the town of Gunnison is also famous as one of the coldest spots in the lower 48). It has about 16,097 residential and 1,081 commercial properties and a low effective 2025 property tax rate of about 0.31%. Records are kept by the Gunnison County Assessor in Gunnison, the county seat.

How Property Is Assessed in Gunnison County
The Gunnison County Assessor values all real and personal property on Colorado’s two-year reappraisal cycle. The county’s geography makes this genuinely challenging: values range from ski-area condos in Crested Butte to working cattle ranches at lower elevations, so the Assessor has to weigh very different property types across high mountain terrain, alpine valleys, and river-valley ranchland. Our guide helps with understanding your Colorado tax bill.
For tax year 2026, Colorado changed the residential formula: for local-government (non-school) taxes, residential value is 6.7% of actual value, after subtracting the lesser of 10% of actual value or about $70,000 — a relief measure that lowers the taxable amount.
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. Get a quick tax estimate with our free calculator.

Property Tax by Town
Gunnison County runs from the working town of Gunnison up to the Crested Butte resort area. These figures are estimates for research; confirm exact amounts with the Gunnison County Treasurer.
| Town | Population (est.) | Total Parcels (approx.) | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gunnison (county seat) | ~6,560 | 4,200 | Ranching + Western Colorado University |
| Crested Butte | ~1,570 | 1,850 | Historic ski/wildflower town |
| Mt. Crested Butte | ~980 | 2,100 | Ski-base condos (many second homes) |
| Pitkin | ~130 | 300 | Historic mining town |
| Marble | ~130 | 250 | Famous for its marble quarry |
Mt. Crested Butte has more parcels than year-round residents, reflecting its resort condos and second homes. Mill levies vary by town and special district; check the Treasurer for a specific property’s rate.
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 Assessor’s Office publishes a senior application form to apply.
Veterans with a 100% permanent service-connected disability get the same 50% exemption on the first $200,000, regardless of age. Surviving spouses may qualify. See Colorado veteran property tax savings.
Separately from the above exemptions, the new 2026 residential formula subtracts the lesser of 10% of actual value or about $70,000 before local-government taxes are calculated — lowering the taxable amount for most homeowners.
Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte have many vacation and second homes. Exemptions generally require the property to be your primary residence, so many resort-area owners won’t qualify — check your classification with the Assessor.
