Assessment

The assessor discovers and assesses all property within the county as required by law. The office must produce and deliver an assessment roll by July 1 of each year. The assessment roll becomes the base upon which local property taxes are levied, collected, and distributed to the cities, county, and special districts to fund government services.

Parcel Maps

The assessor establishes and maintains a set of maps for assessment purposes, delineating every parcel of land in the county. These parcel maps serve as the basis for the assessment of all real property in Colusa County and are continuously updated to reflect new subdivisions and surveys. These maps are available for review and may be purchased at the assessor's office. Through the ParcelQuest link you may obtain maps, situs address, parcel number, and assessed valuations.
