Earlier this year, everyone received a Notice of Determination from the county related to their property value and taxes.

Extensively remodeled, this home sits on a ~12,000 SF lot in Ranch Acres, a mature north Loveland neighborhood in unincorporated Larimer County and outside city limits—with no HOA or metro district taxes. With room to park a trailer, boat, or work truck, the property offers flexibility that can be hard to find.
