Treasurer Frequently Asked Questions

• Property Tax Notices are generally mailed by the end of January or early February to the owner of record, as their name and mailing address is listed on the Tax Roll as of January 1st. The Tax Roll is prepared and maintained by the County Assessor. Failure to receive a property tax notice does not exempt the taxpayer from timely payment of taxes due (State Statute C.R.S 39-10-103).

• If you have not received a tax notice by mid February, please contact our office at (970) 400-3290 and we will mail you a duplicate notice. You can also print a duplicate notice online at www.weldtax.com.

• Property taxes are the result of the assessment process and the total mill levies for the taxing authorities that provide public services to that property. The County Assessor establishes the value of all properties for tax purposes. The taxing authorities use the assessed value to determine their mill levies. A mill is 1/10th of a penny or $1 for each $1,000 of assessed valuation. Information concerning the tax levy can be obtained by contacting the governing boards of the various taxing entities.
