The Denver Assessor is a different office. The Assessor handles property valuation and assessment questions. If your problem is “how do I pay,” start with Treasury. If your problem is “why is the value high,” start with the Assessor.
Use Treasury for payments
Property tax payment, business personal property tax payment, tax statement help, payment receipt, delinquent tax, tax lien sale and payoff questions.
Use Assessor for valuation
Actual value, assessed value, property records, ownership, classification, protest, property history and value-related questions.
Use official Denver links first
Start from denvergov.org or payment.denvergov.org. Avoid payment ads and third-party sites when paying a government tax deadline.
How to Pay City and County of Denver Property Taxes Online
Denver lets property owners pay real estate taxes and business personal property taxes in one full payment or in first- and second-half installments, except where the total taxes owed are $25 or less.
Do not treat property tax payment like a normal checkout screen. A Denver property tax account can involve a parcel ID, multiple properties, a full-payment option, half-payment options, business personal property taxes, service liens, local improvement project fees, duplicate mortgage-company payments or delinquent tax status. The safest workflow is to find the right parcel, verify the statement, then pay.
Open Denver’s official property tax payment page
Start from Denver’s official Property Taxes page or the official Treasury payment portal. Do not enter payment details on random search-result pages.
Find your parcel ID or statement
If you do not know the parcel ID, use Denver’s property search tool, enter your property address, then download the tax statement from the Tax Documents area.
Choose full or half payment
Pay in full by the full-payment deadline, or use first- and second-half installments when the parcel qualifies. Denver notes that installment payment remains available after clicking Pay Now.
Check the payment method
Denver accepts VISA, MasterCard, Discover and eCheck online. If your payment is unusually large, Denver suggests notifying your bank before paying so the transaction is not rejected.
Save proof immediately
Save the confirmation page, parcel ID, amount, date, tax year and payment method. Keep proof until Denver’s system shows the tax as paid.

Open Pay PortalHow to Find a Denver Parcel ID or Property Tax Statement
Denver’s official instructions say to use the property search tool, enter the property address, scroll to Tax Documents, then download the applicable tax year statement.
Search by property address
Use Denver’s property search tool and enter the street address. If the exact address fails, try a shorter street name or remove punctuation.
Open Tax Documents
After you find the property record, scroll down to Tax Documents and select the applicable tax year to download your statement.
Locate the Parcel ID
Denver states that the Parcel ID appears in the gray box at the top-right of the statement and above the address on the property record page.
If you own multiple Denver properties
Denver’s instructions say to repeat the property-search and statement-download process for all properties you own. Do not assume one parcel ID covers every property.

What to have ready before calling

Denver Property Tax Due Dates: First Half, Second Half and Full Payment
Denver lists the first-half due date as the last day of February, the full-payment due date as April 30, and the second-half due date as June 15. If a due date falls on a weekend or holiday, Denver moves the due date to the next business day.
First half: last day of February
Use this option if you are splitting the taxes into two payments. Confirm the correct first-half amount from the statement or payment portal.
Full payment: April 30
Use this option if paying the full tax bill at once. Check if any service lien or special assessment requires full payment.
Second half: June 15
If you paid the first half, the second half is due June 15. Unpaid taxes can become delinquent after the second-half deadline.
Deadline mistake to avoid
Do not wait until the last day to find your parcel ID. Bank blocks, old browsers, large card transactions, eCheck problems, mortgage duplicate payments and wrong-property searches can delay successful payment.
How to Pay Denver Property Taxes by Mail or In Person

Mail payment address
City and County of Denver, Department of Finance, Treasury Division, PO Box 17420, Denver, CO 80217-0420.

Denver Delinquent Property Taxes, Interest and Tax Lien Sale Help
Denver states that if property taxes are not paid, delinquent interest is charged at 1% per month, a delinquency notice is sent in July, unpaid taxes are advertised, and taxes may be sold if still unpaid before the public tax lien auction.
The public real estate tax lien auction is usually held around the first part of November. This does not mean the buyer gets the property immediately. Denver explains that a tax lien is being bought, not the property. However, the process is serious and can create additional redemption interest, fees and costs for the property owner.
Do not use an old balance
Late balances can include interest, fees, penalties and advertising costs. Call Treasury for the current amount before paying a delinquent bill.
Delinquency notice in July
If you receive a delinquency notice, compare parcel ID, property address, payment history and mortgage escrow records before assuming it is wrong.
Tax lien auction usually in November
If taxes are still unpaid before the auction, the lien may be sold. Use Denver’s official tax lien sale page for current rules.
What to ask when calling about delinquent taxes
- What is the exact payoff amount today?
- Does the amount include delinquent interest and fees?
- Has the account been advertised for sale?
- Is the parcel scheduled for the tax lien auction?
- What payment method is accepted for a late account?
- Can Denver confirm the account is cleared after payment?
Denver Treasury vs Assessor: Who Should You Contact?
If the issue is payment, call Treasury. If the issue is valuation, call the Assessor’s Office at 720-913-1311.
Contact Treasury when…
You need to pay, find a statement, ask about a receipt, fix a payment issue, ask about a delinquent notice, understand a tax lien sale, or request payoff help.
Contact Assessor when…
You disagree with actual value, assessed value, property classification, ownership, property characteristics or assessment history.
Important value warning
Paying a tax bill does not mean you agree with every future valuation, and disputing value does not automatically stop payment deadlines. Ask the correct office what must be paid while a valuation question is open.
Denver Property Tax Relief, Exemptions and Deferral Programs
Denver’s property tax information page links to relief and exemption resources, including Denver Property Tax Relief, Colorado Property Tax Deferral, Denver Property Tax Exemption, Colorado Property Tax Exemption and qualified senior primary residential classification information.

How to Save a Denver Property Tax Receipt or Payment Confirmation
Payment proof matters for mortgage escrow, refinancing, closing, duplicate payments, delinquent notices and tax records.
Online payment receipt
Download or screenshot the confirmation page after payment. Save the parcel ID, amount, tax year, date and confirmation number.
Mail payment proof
Keep a copy of the check or money order, the coupon, and proof of mailing. Denver honors payments by postmark date for mail payments.
Mortgage duplicate payment
Denver explains that if both owner and mortgage company pay, the first payment received is applied, and excess payments are refunded to the last payer.
Receipt should show
- Parcel ID
- Property address
- Tax year
- Payment amount
- Payment date
- Confirmation number
Save extra proof
- Bank or card proof
- eCheck confirmation
- Postal postmark proof
- Mortgage escrow disbursement proof
- Denver payment history screenshot
Common Denver Property Tax Payment Mistakes to Avoid
Most Denver tax payment problems come from using the wrong parcel, waiting too close to the deadline, mailing without a parcel number, or confusing payment issues with valuation issues.
Wrong parcel ID
Always match parcel ID, address and tax year before paying. Denver property owners with multiple parcels must repeat the statement process for each property.
Bank rejection
Denver suggests notifying your bank before making a large payment. A rejected card or eCheck near deadline can cause late-payment stress.
Service lien confusion
Denver notes that installment payments are not allowed on service lien and maintenance district payments. Read the amount due carefully before assuming a half-payment option exists.
