Assessor
About Us
The Assessor's Office goal is to produce the tax warrant with fair and equalized property values. The Assessor's Office is not responsible for high or low taxes. The aim of all Assessors is the equalization of assessed valuations in order that the burden of taxes may be distributed evenly and in accordance with the value of property each taxpayer owns. All real and personal property, not exempt by law, is subject to taxation. The major duties of the Assessors Office can be categorized as discovering, listing, classifying and valuing all taxable real and personal property and all property granted exemption by the Division of Property Taxation that is located within the county on the assessment date.
The Assessor's Office collects data on all property including exempt property. This data includes a description of the improvements, land size, assessed value, legal description, ownership, property address and owner address. The Assessor's maps provide a description of the site shape and size. The Assessor cannot and does not levy taxes. The levying of taxes is done by a constituted taxing authority within each taxing district.

PERSONAL PROPERTY DECLARATION FILING REMINDER
The Conejos County Assessor reminds all persons owning, possessing, or controlling taxable personal property (furnishings, equipment and other movable personal property) that the deadline for filing a Personal Property Declaration Schedule is April 15. All persons who own, possess, or control taxable personal property with a total actual value greater than $56,000 per owner, per county, are required to report the personal property to the county assessor. Failure to declare your personal property each year by the deadline will result in the assessor valuing your property using the "best information available" and attaching a penalty to your tax bill. If you did not receive a declaration schedule, please contact the county assessor at (719)376-5585
All personal property with a total actual value in excess of $56,000 (per owner, per county) is taxable unless specifically exempt by law.

The information contained below is an effort to keep taxpayers informed about Colorado’s Property Tax system.
The actual value of property as shown on your Notice of Valuation in May of 2025 and the value shown on our website is based on sales previous to June 30, 2024. If there has been no change to your property you will not receive a Notice of Valuation for the current year and the value as shown on your tax notice is the basis that will be used to calculate taxes on property that existed as of January 1, 2026. Since 2025 was a reappraisal year the assessment rate was subject to change as shown below:
