The City and County of Denver will no longer send out property tax statements starting this year. Instead, property owners will receive postcards in the mail that contain instructions on how to view and pay their annual property taxes on the city’s website.
Property owners will begin receiving the postcards this week. According to the City and County of Denver, the transition is more sustainable and offers a number of benefits to residents. Denver said the ways to pay property taxes have not changed; residents can pay online, by mail or in person.
According to the City and County of Denver:
- Taxpayers can now see multiple years of property tax statements
- Taxpayers can easily pay taxes on the same webpage
- Taxpayers will have a digital copy of their tax statement, which can be downloaded, saved, and emailed
- Taxpayers no longer need to contact the city to request copies of lost statements
- Significant savings on paper and postage, saving nearly 500,000 pieces of paper and $100,000 in mailing costs each year
“We are constantly evaluating opportunities to become more efficient stewards of taxpayer dollars,” said Nicole Doheny, the city’s Chief Financial Officer. “Moving to online property tax statements makes the most of our new property search tools on our website. We encourage any resident who needs a little help navigating this transition to reach out to our taxpayer services team at (720) 913-9300 or by calling 3-1-1. We know change can be difficult and we are here to make it as seamless as possible.”
Denver officials said property owners can view or print a copy of their statements for free by visiting a local Denver Library where they offer computers, internet access and printers.
