What does the County Assessor do?
Colorado law requires the Assessor's office to appraise property within the county at true and fair market value for a property's highest and best use. The office maintains public records for property ownership, physical addresses, property data, and legal descriptions. The Assessor has no jurisdiction or responsibility for area budgets, tax rates, or amounts of taxes paid. These matters are handled by the various agencies performing the services supported by property taxes, such as the county government, city government, school districts, and other tax districts.
