Has the assessed value of your commercial property increased?
The Larimer County Assessor’s Office has sent out valuation notices to local business owners reflecting annual appreciation of 30% to 100% or more. Don’t wait! You have until midnight, June 9, 2025, to file a protest if your valuation is high. If you own your commercial property or you are leasing, we encourage you to check your valuation and engage in the appeals process.

Keep in mind:
- The valuation period includes property sales that occurred between July 1, 2022, and June 30, 2024.
- New construction and recent sales activity can influence the outcome of your protest. Gather current data and prepare a compelling story.
- The valuation formula may not accurately reflect the use as of July 2022 or unique aspects of your property.
- A massive change to overall values will not occur. If you are concerned about your valuation, you need to file a protest.

Protesting your Property value

Property owners are encouraged to submit their property protests. The deadline for all property owners to appeal their valuations is June 9, 2025. Late protests will not be accepted. This includes supplemental information to an existing protest.
