What is ad valorem tax for oil and gas operators in Colorado?

Colorado ad valorem taxes are property taxes based on oil and gas production and related assets. Operators must report production, values, deductions and other information used to determine taxable value.

Colorado has detailed reporting requirements, and interpretation can vary by county. That can make compliance especially challenging for operators working across multiple jurisdictions.

Depending on the situation, operators may qualify for transportation, processing and other allowable deductions. We review filings to help identify savings that may have been missed.

Yes. We can help prepare or review DS658 and NERF filings, organize supporting documentation and address questions from county agencies.

Accurate reporting, complete documentation and properly supported deductions can help reduce risk. We focus on identifying potential issues early, before they become larger and more costly problems.

Missed deductions and reporting errors can add up quickly across multiple properties and reporting periods. We review calculations and supporting records to identify allowable deductions that may have been overlooked, including transportation, processing and other applicable adjustments.

At the same time, we look for issues that could lead to assessments, audits or abatement proceedings. The goal is simple: accurate reporting, fewer surprises and better financial outcomes.

Find Savings. Reduce Risk.
