EL PASO COUNTY, Colo. (KOAA) — The El Paso County Treasurer's Office has launched a new option for residential and business property owners to prepay their property taxes in smaller, manageable monthly payments.
According to El Paso County, the program is a secure, cloud-based platform that enables users to set up equal monthly pre-payments.

According to the county, the following can participate:
- property owners who own their property free and clear
- homeowners or taxpayers who prefer consistent, predictable monthly payments
- senior citizens on fixed incomes
- business and commercial property owners who want to better manage their tax obligations
The cost to participate in the program is listed below:
- e-checks: $1 per transaction
