The La Plata County Assessor's office completes a reappraisal of properties every two years. Because our taxes are paid in arrears, the assessor's office collects their tax data based on sales of properties in the past. The current data collection period for upcoming tax years 2009 & 2010 includes the sales period January 1, 2007-June 30,2008. The assessor's office will be mailing out recent valuations in late April. You have until June 1 to challenge your property's valuation. The following assessment formula for property values is used:
7.96% for residential
29% for commercial and vacant land
87.5% for oil and gas properties
If you are interested in viewing the new valuation of your property, please check out the county assessor's website:
