Colorado Property Tax: Pay by April 30, or Split the Bill

The Division of Property Taxation says bills are mailed in January for the prior year. If the tax is over $25, pay in full by April 30, or pay half by the last day of February and half by June 15. If the tax is $25 or less, pay in full on April 30.

The buyer may terminate on the earlier of closing or five days after receiving that new disclosure. The seller, not the broker, completes the property disclosure. It is not a warranty.
