Colorado property owners received hundreds of millions of dollars in property appraisal reductions plus refunds of $53 million in the 2009 reassessment year.
Since county assessors update property appraisals every other year, it is in property owners' best interest to find out what their role is in the tax assessment system.
Over $6.8 billion is collected in property taxes each year in Colorado, the largest collection of taxes outside of federal income taxes. The property tax system includes over $600 billion of real estate value. In such a large system, mistakes are bound to be made-mistakes which can cost the property owner a bundle.
Property values are determined by a computerized Mass Appraisal Method used by all county assessors. While the system results in fairly accurate overall results, assessors recognize that it also results in many properties being appraised higher than they should be.
For residential properties, 36 seconds is the time allocated to determine property value or three minutes for a drive by appraisal. Assessors try to drive by all properties once every ten years and make a physical inspection once every 100 years.
Arvada homeowners can request Ed Tomlinson to review their assessment and protest for free. No strings attached.
Commercial and industrial property owners will also benefit from the book or can contact Ed Tomlinson to protest for a 25% success only fee.
