At their meeting held on September 26, 2025, the State Board of Equalization appointed Mr. Keith Erffmeyer, the current Denver County Assessor, to be the next Property Tax Administrator for the state of Colorado. Keith will start his official duties in January of 2026. Our sincerest thanks to Keith for his interest in pursuing and then accepting the position. His over thirty-two years of experience in the Denver Assessor’s office, years of serving on and co-chairing the Legislative Committee of the Colorado Assessors’ Association, membership on the Statutory Advisory Committee to the Property Tax Administrator and overall involvement in policy development and implementation of property tax law make Keith exceptionally qualified for this new role.
Although agreements in the summer of 2024 between elected policy makers and certain interested parties were meant to stem the tide of significant property tax policy changes, the implementation of those new policies is still going to be a substantial challenge for assessors now and in the near future. Mr. Erffmeyer is uniquely positioned to lead the Division of Property Taxation and assist the assessment community as they incorporate recent property tax laws into an implementable, enforceable and explainable property tax system that works for all parties involved.
Thank you again, Keith, and only the best of luck!
