Site better leverages technology to serve residents
The City and County of Denver announced that it has launched a new version of denvergov.org/property, a research platform allowing residents to view details of approximately 240,000 properties throughout the city and county. This new website is a joint effort between Denver’s Technology Services and the Department of Finance.
“This new version of our property website gives property owners and those interested in Denver properties a better tool to perform research and gather information in Denver’s dynamic market,” said Denver Assessor Keith Erffmeyer.
“This tool represents a significant step forward in how we leverage technology to better serve our residents,” said Suma Nallapati, Denver’s Chief Information Officer. “We’ve streamlined complex data into an intuitive platform, creating a more efficient and transparent process for property research.”
The newer technology allows for a cleaner viewing experience on computers, tablets, and mobile devices. It also displays information on a single page, so the user does not have to click through looking for what they want to know.
Some of the functions of the site include:
- Simplified, intelligent search: The older version required specific details, such as the street direction, in searches. This version makes properties easier to find in searches for business and consumer users.
- Value: The assessed value, what the current and past owner paid for the property, the square footage of buildings and property, the property tax amount, and more remain available on the new site.
- Appeals: During the appeal statutory timeframe following assessments, property owners now have a quick link to file an appeal to their property value if they choose to do so.
- Transfer History: History of property ownership remains available.
- Permit History: If anyone has obtained construction permits for the property, these permits now show up on the website.
People searching for a new home or business might use the tool to confirm details of a property, or realtors may use the tool to gather information for clients. Property owners may also use the tool to research neighboring or similar properties.
The new denvergov.org/property website receives daily updates to ensure accuracy for new properties, ownership changes, and sales throughout the year.
