| Mesa County Assessor Ken Brownlee talks to KKCO News Channel 11 Reporter Stephanie Bennett regarding the assessment of property taxes and what taxpayers should expect to see this year. |
 |
| Mesa County Assessor Ken Brownlee explains that property tax is derived by multiplying the assessed value times the mill levy. In November 2017, passed by the vote of the people, School District 51's ballot initiatives and Clifton Fire district mill levy increase (for Clifton area residents) resulted in a mill levy increase, which will be on average a 12 percent tax increase for the tax year 2017 due in 2018. |
