How are my taxes calculated?
In the State of Colorado
- residential properties are assessed presently at 6.765% (2024 to be determined)
- residential, multi family are assessed at 6.8%
- vacant, agri business, and commercial land is assessed at 29%
- agricultural land and improvements are assessed at 26.4%
- renewable energy properties are assessed at 26.4%
This means that if a particular property is residential, and does in fact have a livable residence on the property, the property owner will be taxed on 6.765% (.06765) of the full actual value
The following formula is used to calculate the amount of taxes due:
(Actual Value x Assessment Rate) x Mill levy = Property Taxes Due
For example: ($100,000 x .0695) x .100 = $695.00 (your actual mill levy will vary)
The actual value of each property in Sedgwick County is estimated by the Assessor’s Office.
The mill levies are set each year by the taxing authorities that benefit from the taxes:
School districts
Cemeteries
Cities and towns
Other special districts
Fire and water districts
The districts, which levy taxes on your property, are listed on your tax bill. You may also be subject to special assessments which will be reflected on your tax bill.
