Boulder housing market
The 0.49% property tax rate reflects the county-level effective rate for Boulder and is used to calculate your monthly tax escrow above. This rate may differ from the statewide Colorado average — county-level data produces more accurate monthly payment estimates for Boulder buyers. Many Boulder properties also carry HOA fees — the area average is approximately $300/month, which is not included in the calculator above.
