How Property Is Assessed in Park County
The Park County Assessor determines the fair market value of residential, commercial, and agricultural property, applying consistent classification and assessment standards under the Colorado Constitution, with a full reappraisal in odd-numbered years. Note that the Assessor sets values, not tax rates — mill levies are set separately by the County Commissioners, school boards, town councils, and special districts, and your tax bill is the assessed value multiplied by the applicable mill levy. Learn how Colorado values property.
Each property has a unique parcel number, which is the fastest and most accurate way to pull up ownership, land size, building details, and tax records.
