How does Colorado's new property tax exemption threshold affect trailer appraisals starting in 2027?

Under HB26-1120, Colorado's mobile home property tax exemption will increase from $28,000 to $52,000 in actual value beginning in property tax year 2027, with annual inflation adjustments tied to the Denver-area CPI. Appraisals must establish the actual value of the trailer to determine whether it qualifies for the exemption, which directly affects the taxable value calculated at the 26% personal property assessment rate.

How does HB26-1120 change the delinquent tax process for trailers in Colorado?

Effective July 1, 2026, county treasurers in Colorado will sell tax liens on mobile homes rather than seizing and selling the property directly. Redemption periods extend to a minimum of three years, and appraisals play a key role in supporting lien sales, auctions, and abandonment determinations under the new process.

What assessment rate applies to trailers treated as personal property in Colorado?

Trailers classified as personal property in Colorado are subject to a 26% assessment rate applied to their determined market or actual value. This rate applies after any applicable exemptions, such as the updated $52,000 threshold taking effect in 2027.

Do landowners in Colorado have any special rights regarding tax liens on trailers located on their property?

Yes, under HB26-1120, landowners whose tenants own a mobile home on leased land gain a right of first refusal to pay delinquent taxes and acquire the lien certificate before a county strike-off occurs. This protection takes effect with lien sales beginning July 1, 2026, and makes accurate appraisals important for landowners evaluating whether to exercise that right.

How do rent control risks and infill assumptions affect trailer community appraisals in Colorado?

When appraising manufactured home communities or trailer parks in Colorado, appraisers must account for rent control regulations that can limit income growth and infill assumptions that affect redevelopment feasibility. These factors influence discounted cash flow models, capitalization rates, and overall market value conclusions.
