DENVER - Today, Governor Jared Polis, the Department of Local Affairs (DOLA) and the Governor’s Office of Information Technology (OIT) launched a new pilot Colorado Property Tax Map to offer Coloradans a centralized, accessible and reliable source to estimate property taxes and view statewide taxing jurisdictions and boundaries. This first-of-its-kind map aggregates data provided to the state by local governments and displays historical taxing, parcel and levy information in a way that has never been done, adding context and clarity to an often confusing subject. This map is launching just shy of a year since the landmark property tax deal last legislative session that helps save Coloradans money on their property taxes.
“In Colorado, we have made it one of our top priorities to decrease property taxes for all Coloradans. I am excited to launch the Colorado Property Tax Map tool to take the stress out of taxes by offering a user-friendly map to remove the guesswork for Coloradans,” said Governor Polis.
This map is a great resource for last year's property tax information. It gives property owners and other interested parties a good picture of value, taxing jurisdictions that collect taxes against their property and what mill levies were in the last year.
“DOLA’s vision is to work collaboratively across agencies to be innovative in our approach to strengthen local communities,” said Maria De Cambra, DOLA’s Executive Director. “This map is a perfect example of this vision coming to fruition to add a new level of transparency to a subject that is often confusing to many Coloradans.”
“The Colorado Property Tax map puts the tremendous power of Geographic Information Systems directly in the hands of Coloradans,” added state Chief Information Officer David Edinger. “We are thankful for the joint partnership between the Governor’s Office, DOLA and our GIS Coordination & Development Program within OIT to solve real-world problems through innovative geospatial cloud technology.”
