Got a 2026 Broomfield Notice of Valuation? Here's how to understand your protest options.
If a 2026 notice landed in your mailbox, the June 8 deadline matters. I built this free 12-page guide to help Broomfield, CO homeowners understand the filing window, the sales period, the evidence that matters, and the steps to submit a cleaner protest.
Written by Jackson Granger, Broomfield homeowner and Colorado broker associate. Updated May 2026 with the 2025-reappraisal sales window the assessor is using for 2026 protests.

Reading the Notice of Valuation
Where the assessor's value sits on the form, and the two boxes most people miss the first time.

What "actual value" really is
Your 2026 number carries from the 2025 reappraisal, so it's based on a sales window that may lag the market you actually live in.

Comps that count for a 2026 protest
The 2025 reappraisal window (July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024) is what the assessor will accept. The guide shows where to pull comps and how to pick three to five that hold up.

Why I built this guide
hen the 2026 notices started landing in May, I had three different neighbors text me a photo of theirs in the same week. The first thing most of them said was some version of "is this number even right?"
Some of them had a case. Some of them didn't. Either way, the process is more annoying than it should be, and the deadline doesn't move.
I'm Jackson, a Colorado-licensed broker associate with Coldwell Banker Realty (Global Luxury program). I sell homes in Broomfield, and I live here too.
So I wrote down what I tell people on the phone, added screenshots, and put it in a PDF. That's all this is. Read it, file or don't, and email me if you get stuck.

Email me the guideFrequently asked questions
No. Colorado reappraises real property in odd years (2023, 2025, 2027). 2026 is an intervening year, which means Broomfield only mails a Notice of Valuation if your value or classification changed, for example after a remodel, an addition, a subdivision, or a correction to the property record. If a 2026 NOV showed up in your mailbox, you have grounds to protest. If one didn't, your value carries forward from the 2025 reappraisal.

No cold calls. You'll get the guide, and from time to time a short Broomfield market note you can unsubscribe from in one click. I'm a licensed Colorado broker, so if you ever want to talk about your house you know where to find me, but the guide stands on its own.
Reading the actual notice in front of you is half the battle. The guide does that part.
Email me the guideThe June 8 deadline matters because late protests are difficult to fix.
Colorado reappraises every other year. 2025 was the reappraisal; 2026 carries that value forward. The guide helps you understand your options before the window closes, so you can decide whether to file before June 8.
