How are property taxes split at closing in Colorado?
Each side pays the taxes for the days it owns the home. Property taxes in Colorado are paid in arrears, after the period they cover. So the seller usually credits the buyer for unpaid days up to closing. Taxes run about 0.5% of the home's value per year. Taxes are paid the following year (Apr 30 or Feb 28/Jun 15); the seller credits the buyer for Jan 1 through closing.
