Brighton Property Tax Search: Adams and Weld Lookup, Mill Levies

Brighton property tax search: Adams County first, Weld for a few

A Brighton property tax search usually starts with the Adams County Assessor, because the Adams County Government Center is in Brighton and most of the city is in Adams County. Part of Brighton reaches into Weld County, though, and those homes have a different assessor, a different county levy and a lower base rate. Then there are the metro districts: roughly a third of Brighton's land is inside one, and they can add 35 to 76 mills. Here is how to find the real numbers for a Brighton, CO address.

The lookup tools, by county

Adams County. The Assessor's Property Look-Up shows ownership, assessment details and parcel data. Pay or view the bill on the Treasurer's online tax site. Notices of value and online appeals are on the Assessor's NOV site. The office is at 4430 S. Adams County Parkway in Brighton, 303-659-2120.

Weld County. Use the Weld Property Portal. The Weld Assessor is in Greeley, 970-400-3650. Weld County's 2025 report lists 14 tax districts that include the City of Brighton.

Not sure which county? The parcel record names it, and the map in the Colorado Property Tax Map shows the districts by address (the state calls its data unaudited, so confirm on the county record).

Brighton's 2025 levies

Adams County side (tax area 1316, 112.638 mills):

• School District 27J: 56.290 mills
• Adams County: 27.479 mills
• Greater Brighton Fire Protection District: 17.504 mills
• City of Brighton: 6.650 mills, unchanged
• Rangeview Library District (Anythink): 3.715 mills
• Mile High Flood District: 1.000 mill

Some Adams tax areas add the Central Colorado Water Conservancy District, 0.978 mills, for a 113.616 total.

Weld County side (tax district 2032, 101.886 mills): Weld County's own levy is 15.956 mills, far below Adams County's, and the library is High Plains at 3.044. The school district, the fire district and the City of Brighton levies are the same. That is why two Brighton homes in the same school district can carry very different bills depending on the county line.

Brighton metro districts

The City of Brighton says about a third of the city's land sits inside metropolitan districts, which repay neighborhood infrastructure through their own property tax. Their 2025 levies, from Adams County's tax-area data:

• Brighton Crossing Metro Districts 4 through 8: 56.304 to 67.323 mills
• Bromley Park Metro Districts 2, 3, 5 and 6: 35.000 to 54.500 mills
• Prairie Center Metro Districts 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10: 37.727 to 76.194 mills (Districts 2, 3 and 8 levied 0)
• The Lakes Metro Districts 1 through 4: 56.392 to 63.606 mills
• Village at Southgate Metro District: 63.051 mills
• Platte River Ranch South Metro District: 24.774 mills

Several Brighton districts levied nothing for 2025, including Brighton Ridge, Case Farms and Parkland. Levies are reset every December, and a new district can start levying once homes are built, so check the current record. Brighton's metropolitan districts page has the city map.

Appeals and due dates

Both counties mail notices of value by May 1 and take real property appeals from May 1 to June 8. Adams County accepts appeals by mail, email, fax, in person or online, and anyone appealing for an owner needs a notarized authorization letter. Adams mails its decisions by August 15, with appeals to the County Board of Equalization due September 15. 2026 was an off year, so the next full notice comes in 2027.

Adams County taxes are due in halves by February 28 and June 15, or in full by April 30. Late payments carry interest of 1% a month.
