If you prepaid your property taxes, we have answers to common questions.

Paying Taxes

You can pay property taxes all at once or in two equal payments. Make the payment you choose by the due dates.

You can pay these four ways:

  • In one of our offices
  • By mail

Payment instructions are on the back of your tax notice.

You can pay with an e-check for free. For cards, the charges are 3.29% ($5.20 minimum) for credit cards and 1.33% ($1.45 minimum) for debit cards.

If you mail us a payment, do not send cash. Make checks and money orders out to “Boulder County Treasurer.”

Seniors, Veterans, and Active-Duty Military

Tax Deferral for Seniors and Active-Duty Military

The tax deferral program allows some property owners to get a loan from the state to pay their property taxes. You can apply for a tax deferral with our office. The Colorado State Treasurer’s Office manages the loans and approves applications.

Take a look at the rules for seniors and active-duty military personnel to defer taxes. Contact us by phone at 303-441-3520 or email at treasurer@bouldercounty.gov to apply. You can apply from January through March for taxes you’re paying this year.

The interest rate on these loans is set by the state. By law, they use the 10-year treasury note rate.

Homestead Exemption for Seniors, Veterans with a Disability, and Gold Star Spouses

The Assessor’s Office handles applications for exemptions:

Tax Exemption for Veterans with a Disability and Gold Star Spouses

Tax Liens

Once a year, we hold a tax lien sale for real properties with unpaid taxes. Properties sold will have a tax lien placed on them.

After three years, a lienholder can ask the Treasurer to sell the property at an auction to collect what is owed.

The notice below is required by law. It only applies to you if your property is sold at a public auction.

NOTICE TO A PROPERTY OWNER:

If your property goes to a public auction and is purchased for more than the total owed to the lawful holder and to all other junior lien holders, please contact the treasurer’s office after the public auction because you may have money due to you.
