Douglas County Treasurer, Sharon Jones, states that the county treasurer's office expects to begin mailing property tax statements for tax year 2007 due in 2008, on January 17. If not received by the first week of February, contact the Treasurer's office at 303.660.7455.

Tax statements are mailed to the property owner or their designated agent per C.R.S. 39-10-103. Billing information will also be transmitted electronically to mortgage companies and tax services at their request. Owners with an escrow account, concerned about their mortgage company paying their taxes, should contact their lender to inquire if they need to forward a copy of the tax statement or if the lender has requested billing information from the county.

Tax statements include two payment coupons, one for a full or first half payment and another for a second half payment. Property taxes may be paid in full by April 30, or in two installments with the first half due by February 29 and the second half due by June 15. IMPORTANT NOTE: While the Treasurer's office does accept USPS postmark for timely payment, many local post offices send their mail to Denver for cancellation. This means a delay of one or two days in the postmark. Colorado Statute requires us to return late payments for interest, so please mail early to avoid delay, inconvenience and interest.

Taxpayers may also use MasterCard or Visa credit cards, or an E-check drawn on their checking or savings account to make payments online or by telephone. There is a convenience fee, which is paid entirely to the third party vendor to cover their processing expenses.

When paying via telephone, at 1.800.607.4481, you will be voice prompted through step-by-step instructions. Be certain to record your confirmation number as proof of payment.
