State Overview
Property Taxes in Colorado
Colorado's property taxes rank among the nation's lowest
Colorado's average effective tax rate of 0.393% sits well below the national median of 1.03%, making it one of the most tax-friendly states for property owners. This means Colorado homeowners pay roughly 38 cents in property tax for every $100 of home value, compared to the national average of $1.03. Ranked among the bottom tier nationally, Colorado consistently attracts residents seeking lower property tax burdens.
County rates vary threefold across Colorado
Effective tax rates swing dramatically from Jackson County's low of 0.205% to Broomfield County's high of 0.616%—a threefold difference that creates vastly different tax experiences across the state. Median property tax bills range from $494 in Prowers County to $4,450 in Pitkin County, reflecting both rate and home value variation. This significant range means your tax bill depends heavily on which county you call home.
Typical Colorado homeowner pays $1,560 annually
With a statewide median home value of $398,069, the typical Colorado homeowner pays $1,560 in annual property tax—substantially less than the national median of $2,690 for a less expensive home. Colorado's lower rates and moderate home values combine to create one of the nation's most affordable property tax environments. This $1,130 annual savings compared to the national median adds up significantly over a homeowner's lifetime.
Mountain and resort counties carry steepest bills
Colorado's highest-tax counties cluster in its most desirable areas: Pitkin County (Aspen region) tops the state at $4,450, followed by Broomfield at $3,888 and Boulder at $3,821, all driven by elevated home values and/or tax rates. Rural plains counties like Prowers, Baca, and Jackson keep bills under $550 through both lower rates and lower home values. Geography and property values, not rates alone, explain Colorado's sharpest divides.
Colorado offers budget-friendly property taxes overall
Colorado ranks firmly in the low-tax camp nationally, with rates and bills that undercut most states—ideal for middle-income homeowners and retirees watching their expenses. High-earners and luxury home buyers in resort counties like Aspen pay considerably more, while rural residents enjoy some of America's lowest property taxes. For most Coloradans, property taxes represent a meaningful financial advantage compared to coastal and upper-Midwest peers.
