On Tuesday, Jan. 2, Eagle County announced that property owners will receive their property tax statements by the second week in February. This is about two weeks later than in past years.
This delay is the result of recently enacted changes to laws to accommodate property tax relief passed by the Colorado legislature and signed into law by Gov. Jared Polis.
The due date for the first half payment of property taxes is Feb. 29, 2024.
At the request of special districts such as fire, school, metropolitan, health service and others, the legislature did not adjust the payment deadline. These districts must ensure receipt of early spring tax revenues from county treasurers on the same schedule as previous years to have sufficient revenue to continue to operate.
The new changes to the law will delay Colorado counties certifying their tax roll. The new tax roll deadline is Jan. 24, 2024, which is two weeks later than previous years.
This extra time will allow taxing authorities sufficient time to certify their mill levies and provide county assessors more time to compile newly required data. Once the tax roll process is complete, property owners can expect to receive their statements in about two weeks by mail, by the second week in February.
Please contact the Eagle County treasurer’s office if you have questions about tax statements or your property tax account by calling 970-328-8860 or emailing treasurer@eaglecounty.us.
