2019 was a Reappraisal Year – Summit County, CO
Did you receive your Notice of Valuation in May?
2019 was a reappraisal year. Notices of Valuation were sent on May 1, 2019. Colorado statute requires the Assessor to use data from a minimum period of 18 months prior to June 30, 2018 to determine 2019 and 2020 values. If that data is not sufficient, the Assessor may use additional data, in six month increments, from up to 60 months (5 years) prior to that appraisal date. For most property types in Summit County, the Assessor used 24 months for the 2019 reappraisal. The Assessor is specifically prohibited from considering data from after June 30, 2018.
The Summit County Assessor notified owners of changes to value via a summary Notice of Valuation (NOV) postcard. A long form Notice of Valuation and comparable residential properties can be viewed in the Notice of Valuation Archive.
