Did You Protest Your Property Taxes?

July 8, 2019 by Mary Roberts, REALTOR®, CRS, GRI Leave a Comment

You should have heard back about your property taxes from Larimer County by now. If you protested and received a reduction in your assessment, congrats! I would love it if you contacted me with your experience--what is was assessed at and what you thought it should be assessed at--and the result. If you did not receive a reduction after protesting, I need that information, too. You can appeal that decision but you only have until July 15. Call me if you need help. So far, the agents at ROOTS …

Time to Protest Property Taxes is Almost Over

June 1, 2019 by Mary Roberts, REALTOR®, CRS, GRI Leave a Comment

Runnin’ Out of Time, People! Are you still going to protest your property tax valuation in Larimer County? You better hurry up. Deadline is Monday June 3. I just finished 22 of them for friends and clients. Half of them may win. Some of the valuations had a 50% increase; others less than 20% and they are the ones who may lose. Some of my clients had homes who lost value. No one is asking why. Maybe there was a sale in the neighborhood on a house that teetered on “fix it or tear it down.” Maybe …

Larimer County Home Values Continue Upward Good news or Bad news? The good news is that Larimer County home values are strong. The bad news is that it increases your property values...but by how much? It's that time again... Every two years Larimer County homeowners are sent a postcard from the county assessor with their new property values and property taxes. Value is based on home sales during the 2 years prior to June 30, 2018.  It's no surprise it keeps going up. Those who own homes in the …

Senior Property Tax Savings!

June 8, 2017 by Mary Roberts, REALTOR®, CRS, GRI Leave a Comment

Were you 65 prior to January 1, 2017? Have you lived in your present home for more than 10 years? Yes, and yes? Have you applied for the Senior Property Tax Exemption? No? You have until July 15 to apply for the exemption for 2017 taxes. The Colorado General Assembly voted in 2000 to give the ‘homestead exemption’ to seniors over 65 who have lived in their home for over 10 years, taking effect in property tax year 2002. Under the exemption, 50 percent of up to $200,000 of a residential …

24 Tax Property Protests Later…

May 18, 2017 by Mary Roberts, REALTOR®, CRS, GRI Leave a Comment

I spent most of last weekend pulling ‘comps’ for clients looking to protest their 2017 property tax assessments. Larimer County has a nifty feature that allows you to pull up your own comps (sales that are comparable), but they don’t have all the features provided by our local MLS. Has it been remodeled? Was it a hoarder’s paradise? Was it a bi-level or ranch with one bedroom on the main with a weed production facility in the basement? We can’t always tell if someone has been growing pot but …
