Larimer County issued the following announcement on Dec. 22.
Some Larimer County property owners might have received a mailer recommending they get a copy of their “Recorded Deed Notices” including a copy of the “Current Grant Deed” or “Other Record of Title” from California firm Property Profile, Inc.
The mailer charges $95 or states they owe $95 for a Property Assessment Profile, requesting a response by January 8, 2021. Residents receiving this mailer are directed to disregard this notice and contact local law enforcement. Scammers also have been known to change forms to keep ahead of being discovered; carefully examine any documents you receive in the mail.
“Our office is getting calls from property owners asking if they need to pay Property Profile $95 to get a copy of their deeds and other information,” said Larimer County Assessor Bob Overbeck. “Residents can always get that information for free through our office and on our website,” stated Overbeck. Overbeck says Property Profile is attempting to trick property owners to pay for something that is free from the Larimer County Assessor website.
The Larimer County Assessor never charges for a property assessment profile or to protest a property assessment. Citizens may check their property records online, by phone, or in-person for free at the Larimer County Assessor’s Office.
The form also states at the top they “are not associated with any government agency, and you may also obtain a copy of your property assessment, grant deed, or other records of title from your county recorder for a nominal fee.”
For more information or questions, contact the Larimer County Assessor’s Office at [970] 498-7050. Residents can also visit the Assessor’s Office at 200 West Oak St., Second Floor, Fort Collins, Colorado.
