| Notice of Valuation | Shows the Assessor’s valuation information for the property. | Actual value, classification, property facts, sales comparison and protest deadlines. |
| Notice of Determination | Shows the Assessor’s decision after a protest or review. | New value, reasons, appeal route and timing. |
| Sales history | Shows prior sales and market clues connected to the property record. | Sale date, sale price, arms-length clues and comparable properties. |

Do not record sensitive details
Larimer County cautions that recorded documents become public for all time.
Use recording alerts
Sign up for the free Recording Activity Notification Service if you want alerts when a document is recorded under your name.
Check city zoning separately
