Property taxes in Baca County for the previous year become due on January 1, according to an announcement from the Treasurer’s office. Taxpayers have the option to pay in two equal installments or as one full payment; partial payments are not accepted.
The deadlines for payment are as follows: the first half is due by February 28, and the second half by June 15. If paying in full, the deadline is April 30.
The Treasurer’s office emphasized that not receiving a property tax statement does not exempt property owners from paying on time. “Per State Statute, failure to receive a property tax statement does not exempt the taxpayer from timely payment of taxes. If you do not receive a tax notice by the second week of February, please contact our office. Failure of any person to receive such statement shall not preclude collection by the Treasurer of the amount of taxes due and payable. C.R.S. 39-10-103, as amended.”
