PROPERTY TAX PAYMENTS
FAILURE TO RECEIVE A PROPERTY TAX NOTICE DOES NOT EXEMPT THE TAXPAYER FROM TIMELY PAYMENT OF THE TAXES DUE
WHEN ARE MY PROPERTY TAXES DUE AND PAYABLE?
PROPERTY TAXES ARE DUE JANUARY 1ST FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR. PAYMENT MAY BE PAID IN TWO EQUAL INSTALLMENTS OR IN ONE FULL INSTALLMENT.
FULL PAYMENT DUE BY APRIL 30
FIRST HALF PAYMENT DUE FEBRUARY 28
SECOND HALF PAYMENT DUE JUNE 15
WHEN THE AMOUNT DUE IS $25.00 OR LESS, THE HALF-PAYMENT OPTION DOES NOT APPLY. THEREFORE, A SINGLE FULL PAYMENT IS DUE BY APRIL 30TH.
INTEREST ON LATE PAYMENT IS COLLECTED AT 1% PER MONTH.
IF I AM UNABLE TO PAY WHAT IS DUE, CAN I PAY WHAT I CAN?
ONLY HALF OR FULL PAYMENT WILL BE ACCEPTED. PARTIAL PAYMENTS ARE NOT ACCEPTED.
CAN I USE MY CREDIT CARD FOR PAYMENT?
CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS AND FOREIGN CURRENCY ARE NOT ACCEPTED.
WHAT IS THE TREASURER'S ADMIN FEE?
ANY TAX AMOUNT LESS THAN $10.00 IS SUBJECT TO A TREASURER'S ADMINISTRATION FEE OF $5.00 AS AUTHORIZED BY COLORADO STATE STATUTE 30-1-102(3). BECAUSE THE TAX AMOUNT IS SPLIT MANY WAYS, WASHINGTON COUNTY RECEIVES A SMALL PERCENT. THE TREASURER'S ADMIN FEE HELPS RECOVER THE COSTS OF THE TAX NOTICE PAPER, POSTAGE, PRINTING, ETC. THE $5.00 ADMIN FEE BECOMES PART OF THE TOTAL AMOUNT DUE.
