Here are the five Colorado counties where property values have skyrocketed.
DENVER — Colorado homeowners who had sticker shock when they saw the new assessed value of their homes are not alone.
Denver7 Investigates crunched data compiled by the Colorado Assessors Association, which took information provided by assessors in all 64 counties in Colorado. That data shows that the state’s resort communities saw the largest increase in assessments by percentage. The more rural areas saw the least amount of increase.In these towns, Sakdol said sales skyrocketed last year. This year’s assessments are based on a home's value on June 30, 2022, before interest rates began to rise.
For the nine counties in the Denver metro area the average increase was 39.3%. Douglas County saw the highest increase while Denver and Boulder tied for the lowest.“I mean that is a substantial increase,” Sakdol said, adding that the assessors are just doing their job. “The assessors are audited by the state. So if they do not raise to the market then they could fail an audit within the state of Colorado.
