Yuma County Colorado Property Search
To search Yuma County property records, use the tool below by owner name, parcel number, or property address. Yuma County sits on Colorado’s far eastern plains near the Nebraska border, and its Assessor uses a distinctive approach: rural properties are grouped into “neighborhoods” based on distance from an incorporated town like Wray or Yuma, with values based on sales within that specific neighborhood. The county has about 4,434 residential and 683 commercial properties and a low effective 2025 property tax rate of around 0.35%. Records are kept by the Yuma County Assessor in Wray, the county seat.

How Property Is Assessed in Yuma County
The Yuma County Assessor discovers, lists, classifies, and values all real and personal property, with a full reappraisal in odd-numbered years. Colorado statute requires residential property to be valued using the market approach — comparing sales of similar nearby properties — and Yuma County applies this through a neighborhood system: rural areas are grouped by their distance from an incorporated town, and Wray and Yuma each have six such neighborhoods. If sales in your neighborhood rise, your value can rise; if they fall, it can fall. Our guide explains the Colorado property tax system.
Colorado’s current residential assessment rate is 7.2% of actual value; agricultural, commercial, and natural-resource property use different rates. 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.
