Guide

Where do you look up the owner of record in Larimer County?

The Assessor keeps a public record for every parcel. It is free to search.

  1. Open the Assessor's free property search.
  2. Type an address, owner name, or account or parcel number and press Enter.
  3. Open the record. Read the owner of record, the mailing address on file, values, and sales.
  4. For bulk files (accounts, owners, sales and more as CSV), see the Assessor's public data page.

The owner of record is whoever holds title in the county's file. It can be a person, a trust, or a company.

Guide

How do you confirm ownership with the deed?

The Assessor updates owner names from recorded deeds. The deed itself is the source.

  1. Read the Easy Access page. Indexing is searchable from 1971 on. A free account lets you view document images.
  2. Use the official records search to find deeds by name, reception number, or date.

Searching the index is usually free. Copies of document images may cost a small fee.

Guide

Where is the tax bill, and is it paid?

The Treasurer sends the property tax bill and tracks payments.

  1. From the Treasurer's page, open Property and Tax Searches to see the bill and payment status.
  2. The tax lien sale page gives the sale date and the advertising list of properties with unpaid taxes.

Unpaid taxes are a public fact. They are not proof that an owner wants to sell.

Guide

How do you find the parcel on a map?

A map check helps when an address is shared, a lot is vacant, or one owner holds several parcels side by side.

Guide

What if the record is unclear?

  • Trust or company owner. The record names the trust or company, not the people behind it. The deed may name a trustee or manager.
  • Recent sale. New deeds can take weeks to reach the Assessor's file. Check the Clerk and Recorder for the latest deed.
  • Need many records at once. Ask the Assessor for an existing export. See how to request assessor data under the Colorado Open Records Act.

Towns such as Estes Park, Loveland, Fort Collins and Berthoud are inside Larimer County, so the county assessor, clerk and treasurer cover them.

Questions

Questions people ask

Is it free to look up a property owner in Larimer County?

Yes. The Assessor's online property search is free. Copies of recorded documents may cost a small per-page fee.

Is the mailing address the owner's home?

Not always. It is where the county sends tax notices. It can be a home, a PO box, a trust's office, a lender, or a property manager.

Why does the record show a trust or a company?

Many owners hold property in a trust or company. The deed may name a trustee or manager. That is common and does not mean anything is wrong.

How current is the owner name?

It reflects deeds the Assessor has processed. A very recent sale may not show yet, so check the Clerk and Recorder for the latest deed.
