New Features on Website
We have added some new features to our website.
When you bring up the report page on an improved property there is a new search tool at the upper right-hand corner that will allow you to bring up sales of comparable homes in your neighborhood.
Also:
GIS mapping currently has the dimensions for parcels available on properties west of 144 St ….we currently are testing this area and will be adding additional dimensions for the eastern part of the county. Dimensions will automatically draw when you have zoomed into a scale of 0-50 ft or better.

Never hesitate to contact the Assessor's office and explain your concerns. If you're still not satisfied after visiting with the one of our appraisers, you can file a Property Valuation Protest with the Douglas County Board of Equalization (BOE).
