| Posted: 30 Jan 2011 11:52 AM PST The Arapahoe County Treasurer's Office was to begin mailing property-tax notices on Jan. 24, but only property owners who pay taxes directly — not through a mortgage company — will receive a notice unless they have requested one. "Since Arapahoe County is joining other counties in providing tax notices electronically, we want to make sure all property owners are aware of this change," Treasurer Sue Sandstrom said. Instead of mailing about 218,000 notices as the county has done in past years, the treasurer will be sending roughly 100,000 in 2011. That will save the county approximately $40,000 in paper and postage expenses, according to the treasurer. "But, we also want to let all property owners know they have the option to take advantage of e-notices, or opt in to receive a paper copy if they prefer," she added. Last October, the treasurer's office notified nearly 115,000 property owners that they will receive their tax bills electronically in 2011 because the Colorado Legislature passed a law authorizing counties to do so.Historically, the tax bills have been mailed in January to all property owners. The bills cover taxes for the previous year. The treasurer's office also sends the tax information to mortgage lenders, but Sandstrom said property owners are the ones who are ultimately responsible and may want to follow up with their lender to make sure their taxes have been paid. Included with the 2010 tax bill is a yellow insert offering property owners the opportunity to discontinue paper copies of their tax bills. All property owners will be able to access an electronic version of their tax notices at co.arapahoe.co.us/departments/tr in early February. For more information, call 303-795-4550.
