Choose Correct Record

Denver Property Records Are Split by Task

A tax record, assessment record, zoning/map record and recorded deed are not the same thing. Use this table before searching.

Real Property Search

How to Search Denver Property Records by Address, Parcel ID or Schedule Number

Denver’s property search page says you can search property assessment and tax data by entering an address, Parcel ID or schedule number. The city says this information is updated daily, but users should still verify special tax amounts during lien-sale and tax-roll-finalization periods.

Address

Best starting point

Use house number + street name first. Remove apartment/unit text if the search is too narrow.

Parcel ID

Best exact match

Use Parcel ID when you need the right tax record, statement or property file.

Schedule number

Assessor clue

The schedule number appears on Denver assessment and tax records and helps confirm the record.

Daily updates

Still verify

Denver says data is updated daily, but no warranties are provided for interpretation.

Start with the official Denver property page

Choose Real Property, not Business Personal Property, for homes and land.

▾

Open Denver’s Property Search page, choose the Real Property tile, then search by address, Parcel ID or schedule number. Action link: Denver Property Search.

If you only know the address, keep it simple

Too many words can hide the correct result.

▾

Try street number + main street name first. If the result list is long, narrow with street suffix, unit number, neighborhood context or Parcel ID from a tax bill or deed.

Save the record fields you will need later

Do this before moving to tax payment or deed search.

▾

Copy the Parcel ID, schedule number, property address, owner/mailing information, legal description, actual value, assessed value, property characteristics, tax district, tax documents and any sale/comparison clues.

Use Compare Properties for sold-property research

Helpful for value review, but not a title report.

▾

The Denver Property Search page also links a Compare Properties tool for searching and comparing sold properties. Use it for appraisal/protest context, not as proof of legal title.

⚠️

Timing warning: During the annual tax lien sale period in October/November, and during December/early January tax-roll finalization, extra amounts or other charges may not fully show online. Denver says to call 720-913-9300 to obtain the correct amount due.

Tax Statements & Payment

How to Find Denver Property Tax Statements and Pay Online

Denver’s Treasury page says detailed property tax statements are available online. The key is to open the property, scroll to “Tax Documents,” download the year you need, then use “Tax Payment” from the property page.

1st half

Last day of February

First-half installment is due the last day of February.

2nd half

June 15

Second-half installment is due June 15.

Full payment

April 30

Full payment is due April 30 if paying all at once.

Late interest

1% per month

Once past due, interest accrues at 1% per month.

Search the property first

Use property address, Parcel ID or schedule number.

▾

Open Denver’s property search tool, enter the property address, choose the correct property and verify the Parcel ID/schedule number before opening a tax statement.

Download the statement from Tax Documents

This is the cleanest way to get the tax-year statement.

▾

Scroll to the bottom of the property page, find “Tax Documents,” select the applicable tax year and download the statement. Treasury page link: Denver Property Taxes.

Pay from the Tax Payment button

Choose e-check if you want to avoid card service fees.

▾

Return to the top of the property page and select “Tax Payment.” Denver says a 2.5% service fee applies to credit/debit card payments; electronic check is the no-service-fee route.

Use mail carefully

Cut the coupon cleanly and rely on valid postmark rules.

▾

If paying by USPS, print the statement, include the correct payment coupon and cut cleanly above the “detach here” message. Denver says mailed payments are honored by postmark date.

⚠️

Failure-to-receive warning: Denver says failure to receive a tax statement or electronic statement does not excuse payment of taxes, interest and penalties when due.

Delinquent Taxes

Denver Delinquent Property Taxes, Tax Liens and Duplicate Payments

Issue	Denver Rule / Detail	What to Do
Delinquent statement appears wrong	Denver asks taxpayers to email propertytaxinfo@denvergov.org with Parcel ID, address, payment dates, amounts and check numbers.	Send complete payment proof instead of only saying “I already paid.”
Past-due taxes	Late real estate taxes accrue interest at 1% per month.	Confirm current payoff before mailing or paying online.
Nonpayment	Denver says unpaid taxes can receive a July delinquency notice, be advertised and sold at the public tax lien auction if unpaid.	Resolve before the auction timeline whenever possible.
Tax lien sale	The public real estate tax lien auction is usually held in November.	Call 720-913-9300 during lien-sale season to confirm the correct amount due.
Duplicate payment	Denver applies the first payment received to the balance; later excess payments may be refunded to the last payer.	Coordinate with mortgage escrow before making owner payment.
Tax lien redemption	After sale, redemption can include face value, monthly redemption interest, $7 redemption fee, $5/year endorsement fee and other deed-process costs.	Get payoff details directly from Treasury before paying.

📌

High-risk period: October through January can be tricky because lien-sale charges and property-tax-roll finalization can affect what is visible online. Use Treasury help before relying on an old payoff number.

Assessment & Value

How Denver Assesses Real Property

Denver’s Assessor determines actual market value and assessed value, but the Assessor does not collect property tax payments. Colorado law requires real property to be reappraised every two years in odd-numbered years.

Reappraisal

Every 2 years

Colorado real property is reappraised in odd-numbered years.

2025 value study

24-month sales period

2025 values are based on sales between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2024.

Assessor role

Value, not tax collection

The Assessor does not set property taxes or collect payments.

Formula

Assessed value × mill levy

Denver’s property tax page explains tax is calculated from assessed value and mill levy.

Record Field	What It Means	How to Use It
Actual value	Assessor’s market-value estimate before assessment-rate calculation.	Use for value review and protest evidence.
Assessed value	Value used for tax calculation after assessment-rate rules.	Multiply by mill levy to estimate tax impact.
Property characteristics	Style, year built, bedrooms/baths, living area, lot size, zoning and other facts.	Check for mistakes before protesting value.
Owner/mailing information	Assessment/tax record contact and owner clues.	Useful, but confirm legal transfers with recorded documents.
Prior values and tax history	Older assessment values and tax statements available through property search, with research help if unavailable.	Compare tax/value changes over time.

💡

Research-fee note: If you cannot find prior-year tax statements online, Denver’s Taxpayer Service can research prior-year records. The city lists a $15 per hour research charge payable in advance.

Recorded Documents

How to Search Denver Deeds, Deeds of Trust, Releases and Recorded Land Records

Use Denver Clerk and Recorder records when the question is legal-document history. The Clerk and Recorder preserves public records, records land transactions, records Deeds of Trust and related documents, and oversees foreclosures through the Public Trustee function.

Records

Land transactions

The Clerk and Recorder records land transactions and documents requiring official county entry.

Document types

Deeds of Trust

The Recording Department records Deeds of Trust and other official documents.

Public Trustee

Foreclosures

Public Trustee administers foreclosures and auctions according to law.

Online database

1859-present clue

Denver audit materials describe an online records database with records dating from 1859 to present.

Collect assessor clues first

Parcel ID and owner names make recorded-document search cleaner.

▾

Copy Parcel ID, schedule number, owner names, prior owner names, property address, legal description, sale date and tax documents from the property search. Then search recorded documents by party name, document type, reception number or recording date.

Open Denver Clerk and Recorder information

Use this for recording contacts, appointment/drop-box/mail options and department routing.

▾

Open the Denver Clerk and Recorder page, then use the recorded records/search option or contact Recording if you need help. Department link: Denver Clerk and Recorder.

Use the public recorded-document search

Search names, dates and document references carefully.

▾

Use Denver County Clerk and Recorder public search for recorded documents. Search grantor/grantee names, document type, recorded date range, reception/reference number and full text when available. Action link: Denver County Clerk and Recorder Official Records Search.

Search forward for releases

One mortgage/deed-of-trust result is not the full story.

▾

If you find a deed of trust, lien-like record, foreclosure document or assignment, search later dates for release, satisfaction, withdrawal, cure, redemption, trustee’s deed or corrective filing before assuming it is still active.

📌

Recording contact: Denver lists Recording and Marriages email as recording@denvergov.org and the Recording team phone as 720-865-8699. In-person marriage and recording services require an appointment; recording alternatives include USPS or the drop box outside the Clerk and Recorder building.

Recording Tips

Before You Record or Request a Denver Property Document

Task	Practical Requirement	Why It Matters
Search for deed history	Use owner names, prior owners, lender names, trust/LLC names, reception number and recording date.	Address alone may miss older or related filings.
Record a document	Use Clerk and Recorder recording services by appointment, mail, drop box or eligible e-recording path.	Wrong submission method can delay recording.
Check foreclosure/public trustee records	Use the Public Trustee department or foreclosure search route, not only Assessor records.	Assessment/tax pages do not show full foreclosure process details.
Need older owner chain	Denver’s Assessor FAQ points historical chain-of-title information before website data prior to 1987 to Denver Public Library.	Older ownership research may require library/history records.
Use records for legal purpose	Get official copies and professional title/legal review.	Screenshots and assessor pages are not title insurance or legal opinions.

Protest / Appeal

How to Protest Denver Property Value

If you believe Denver’s actual value is wrong, you have the legal right to protest. Denver’s Assessor FAQ says the annual deadline is June 8, or the next business day when June 8 falls on a weekend or holiday.

Deadline

June 8 annually

File by June 8 or next business day if needed.

Evidence

Comparable sales

Use similar home sales, condition issues and property-fact corrections.

Next appeal

BAA / Court / Arbitration

If you disagree with the decision, Denver says further options include State Board of Assessment Appeals, District Court or binding arbitration.

Review the property record first

Look for wrong characteristics before arguing value.

▾

Check style, year built, bedrooms, baths, living area, lot size, zoning, condition, additions, finished area and comparable property data. Document anything incorrect.

Use official Assessor protest instructions

File by the current-year deadline and include your schedule number.

▾

Open Denver Assessor FAQ and follow the protest instructions from your Notice of Valuation or online route. Action link: Denver Assessor FAQ.

Show why the value is incorrect

Do not only say the tax bill is high.

▾

Submit comparable sales, photos of condition problems, correction of property characteristics, appraisal support, sales-timing evidence or other facts that help the Assessor review the value.

⚖️

Prior-year value note: Denver says you can protest up to two prior-year values if you did not already protest those values during the applicable year, using a Board of County Commissioners petition for abatement or refund of taxes.

Relief & Exemptions

Denver Property Tax Relief, Exemptions and Deferral Programs

Denver’s Treasury page groups property-tax relief programs and exemptions from Denver and the State of Colorado. These programs are separate from deed search and separate from value protest.

Denver relief

Problem Solver

If Your Denver Property Search Fails

Problem	Likely Cause	Fix
No real property result by address	Address formatting, unit label, street suffix or misspelling.	Try house number + main street name only, then use Parcel ID or schedule number if available.
Tax amount looks incomplete	Tax lien sale period or tax-roll finalization period.	Call 720-913-9300 before relying on an online amount during October-January or after delinquency.
Tax Documents missing	Wrong property selected, business personal property statement, or older record issue.	Confirm Parcel ID/schedule number; if still missing, contact Taxpayer Service for prior-year research.
Owner name does not match deed	Assessment/tax updates and recorded-document updates can appear in different systems.	Search Clerk and Recorder records for the latest deed or transfer document.
Deed of trust appears unpaid	You found the original deed of trust but not the release.	Search later recording dates for release, satisfaction, assignment, foreclosure cure or public trustee document.
Property value seems wrong	Incorrect property characteristics or comparable-sale difference.	Review the record, gather evidence and file a protest by June 8 or next business day if applicable.

Real Denver Tips

Denver Property Records Tips That Save Time

Use these before buying, appealing, paying, checking escrow, researching a deed of trust, or verifying property in Capitol Hill, Five Points, Highlands, Baker, Washington Park, Park Hill, Montbello, Green Valley Ranch, Cherry Creek, Sloan’s Lake and other Denver neighborhoods.

Tip 01

Parcel ID is your master key

Save the Parcel ID and schedule number from the first search. They connect tax, assessment, payment and recorded-document questions.

Tip 02

Tax Documents are at the bottom

Denver’s Treasury instructions say to scroll to the bottom of the property page to find “Tax Documents.”

Tip 03

Use e-check to avoid card fee

Denver says card payments have a 2.5% service fee, while online electronic check avoids that card service fee.

Tip 04

Do not wait until lien-sale season

October/November can add lien-sale complexity. Confirm payoff directly if taxes are late.

Tip 05

Search releases after deeds of trust

A deed of trust may have a later release. Search forward before assuming a loan is still unreleased.

Tip 06

Use tax record + recorded document

The tax/assessor record is a strong lead, but recorded documents are the legal trail for land transactions.
