El Paso County Assessor Steve Schleiker is hosting an online forum to discuss property valuations ahead of the 2021 reappraisal year. The forum, which is geared primarily towards commercial property owners, commercial property managers, and commercial property agents, brokers and lenders is critical to helping the public understand how the COVID-19 pandemic may impact local property values.
“The combination of our red-hot real estate market and the COVID-19 pandemic is going to have some major impact on the 2021 property valuation process,” said Assessor Schleiker. “We need to start the conversation now so citizens are informed as to how their property taxes may be impacted and our work is transparent.”
