In Morgan County, the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) sits as the County Board of Equalization (CBOE). The mission of the CBOE is to assure just and equalized property tax assessments. The CBOE hears taxpayer’s appeals of property valuation and classification by the Assessor, 39-8-102 C.R.S.
Process of the County Board of Equalization
Using mass appraisal techniques, the Assessor values all properties in the County to the current level of value. That is, all properties are appraised to market value on the appraisal date with appropriate consideration of cost, market and income approaches to value. If you have filed an appeal to valuations by the Morgan County Assessor in a timely fashion and are dissatisfied with the Assessor’s final determination of value, then you may file an appeal to have that determination reviewed by the CBOE.
