Rate context

Confirm

Colorado property tax is based on local mill levies and statutory assessment rates that vary by tax area; no single current effective countywide percentage was published in the official county sources reviewed.

Statement mailing

Published

Middle of January 2027; Montrose County's official FAQ says tax notices are mailed in the middle of January.

Payment deadline

Published

For 2026 property taxes payable in 2027: first half due February 28, 2027; full payment due April 30, 2027; second half due June 15, 2027. Montrose's official FAQ lists these statutory dates.

Valuation protest

Published

May 1 through June 8, 2026; Montrose County's official 2026 tax insert identifies this real-property protest period.

Do not assume a grace period.

The reviewed record identifies the payment timing above but does not establish a universal penalty schedule for this page. Late charges, interest, collection costs, tax-sale procedures, and lien or foreclosure timelines can depend on state law and the local collector’s process. If the deadline is close or a balance is delinquent, contact the tax collector directly and request the current payoff amount in writing.

Treat a published payment deadline as a hard operational date and retain your receipt or confirmation number.

From assessment to collection

01Valuation and notice

Review the assessment notice as soon as it arrives. The protest window may run from the notice date rather than from the payment due date.

02Statement and account review

Match the tax statement to the parcel or account number and confirm exemptions, assessed value, taxing units, credits, and balance.

03Payment confirmation

Use the official collector channel, then save the receipt, transaction reference, and date posted. A bank submission is not always the same as a county posting date.
