depends on where you are looking. Property tax assesment is per county. Generally in Metro Denver it is less than 1% of the assessed value, which is 15-30% less than market value.

Thank you for your responses to my querry about property taxes. We had read in one of the real estate magazines that it was 7.92% Yikes! But we figured that just either had to be wrong or that it was not based on the value of the property.

Thanks for your input.

When we lived there (early to mid 90s), property taxes were reasonable, and based on my research they still are. I believe the one poster is correct in saying they are about 1% of assessed value. Not bad. I am in the upper midwest now, and my middle class town is 2.58%.

IMO the property taxes in Colorado are the lowest I have seen. Where I live in Cali they are twice as high and wher I am originally from in Wisconsin twice as high again. My sister's taxes are I think in the lower 1000's for a $250K house (Near Stetson Hills). My assesed value here is $270K and the taxes are $3000 (in OC). My Parent's house is assesed at about 110K and I think the taxes are over $2300 (Wisconsin)

I am hoping that the influx of military personnel will cause the real estate to skyrocket in the Springs like it did here, but that is probably mostly over.
