Kit Carson County Colorado Property Search
To search Kit Carson County property records, use the tool below by owner name, parcel number, or street address. Kit Carson County sits on Colorado’s eastern plains near the Kansas border, with its county seat at Burlington — home to a 1905 carousel that’s a National Historic Landmark. The county is also unusual for property records: it has more than 140 active Torrens titles, making it one of Colorado’s largest counties using that older land-registration system. It has about 3,108 residential and 529 commercial properties and an effective 2025 property tax rate of around 0.35%. Records are kept by the Kit Carson County Assessor in Burlington.

How Property Is Assessed in Kit Carson County
The Kit Carson County Assessor values residential, commercial, and agricultural property on Colorado’s two-year reappraisal cycle; 2025 was a reappraisal year. Property owners saw a notable jump in values that year, partly because a temporary state relief measure that had softened commercial and residential values in 2023 and 2024 was not extended to 2025 — so values reverted to full market value. Learn how assessments work in Colorado.
One thing that makes Kit Carson County unusual: it holds more than 140 active Torrens-system land titles, an older, court-registered form of land title separate from the standard deed-recording system most Colorado counties use exclusively. If your property has a Torrens title, the records and transfer process work a bit differently.
