Summit County Property Tax Notices

Property Tax Notices to come out shortly…

In Colorado, County Assessors reappraise property in odd-numbered years, and your Notice of Valuation is due to be mailed out on May 1^st. 

The new valuation is based on property sales data for the two-year period from July, 2010 to June 30, 2012. The table below shows averages for your complex between these dates. This information covers all sales through the Summit County MLS System (this excludes private sales).

If you chose to appeal you have a short window of May 1 through June 1. The Assessor’s Office will then review your appeal and send you a Notice of Determination on June 30, which outlines the decision and your further appeal rights.

Appeals to valuation may be submitted to the assessor online, via e-mail, mail or in person.  For more information visit www.co.summit.co.us (Government tab, Assessor, Appeals).

Where can you get the most for your money in Summit County?

So we know we are in a buyer's market here in Summit County, but where are the deals within the deals? One area I encourage you to look at is Wildernest. It is a large neighborhood in Summit County just on the outskirts of The Town of Silverthorne. It’s wooded setting sits at the base of Buffalo Mountain known for many awesome hikes. It is right on the The Summit Stage bus route that services the Summit County area, which gives people the opportunity and convenience to access other parts of the county. Wildernest close proximity to I-70 is ideal for those looking for a central “home base” to visit four ski areas in the county, being about 20 minutes from Keystone and Copper Mountain, and 25 minutes from Arapahoe Basin and Breckenridge.
