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.

Property owners can pay electronically by using the following:

  • e-check
  • card
  • digital wallet

“This new option provides taxpayers with greater flexibility and control in managing their property taxes,” said Chuck Broerman, El Paso County Treasurer. “It allows residents and business owners to plan ahead with confidence, using a structured monthly pre-payment approach that fits their budgeting needs."

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
  • credit and debit cards: 2.5% processing fee
