2007 Property Values in Denver
In 2007, all Colorado assessors will be required by state law to reappraise all the real property (houses, condos, commercial buildings, etc) in their counties. The Denver Assessor's Office will be sending a new notice of value to all Denver property owners in May, 2007. If you disagree with your new property value in 2007, you will have the opportunity to submit an appeal of your property value. Full instructions for submitting an appeal will be included with the 2007 notice of value.

As for business personal property (which refers to all the assets owned by businesses in Denver), the 2007 values will be based on the information submitted by each business on their 2007 personal property declaration. These declarations will be mailed out to all businesses in January, 2007, and they will include information on how to submit the declaration online.
Privacy Statement
Colorado considers the information maintained by assessor's offices (the names of property owners, the values of properties, etc) to be open records information. However, some citizens still would like to know if it is possible for their information to be removed from the assessor's Internet data. Under current Colorado law, assessors are authorized to remove information from the Internet only for "peace officers". This authorization is found in Colorado Revised Statutes 18-9-313, which states that the personal information for peace officers and their immediate family members can be removed from the Internet.

If you would like to see this Internet information removal option extended to more people, it would be worthwhile to contact your state legislator and let him or her know that you would like to see such a change in the law.
TAX GUIDE FOR NEW BUSINESSES
The Assessor's and Treasurer's Offices of the City and County of Denver have created a guide for owners of new businesses (and anyone else who is interested) which provides valuable information on how to comply with local tax requirements (sales tax, business personal property tax, etc). This booklet can be obtained by clicking here.
New Process for Parcel Splits
Effective January 1, 2006, the Denver Assessor's Office will only be able to process requests for parcel combinations. All parcel splits will need to be created by filing a legal document with the Clerk and Recorder's Office, on the first floor of the Wellington Webb Office Building at 201 West Colfax Ave in Denver.
Parcel combination request forms can be obtained by clicking on the "Forms" category shown in our information options to the left on this screen. Zoning change request forms are also listed in the "Forms" section.
This procedural change is necessary because of how parcel splits can affect other city agencies and their work responsibilities.
