City and County of Denver, Dept. of Finance, Assessment Division records

Oversize bound volumes (1903-1951) contain deed information arranged alphabetically by subdivision name, block and lot number followed by properties in unincorporated areas. These items have been digitized and available online at the DPL Creating Communities website. Transaction information includes: grantor name, property owner name, property description, deed location information, instrument affirming ownership and date of filing. For some properties, the "remarks" section may contain the following additional information: death date and will of owner, how the property was acquired, corrections of mistakes to the original deeds as well as information concerning annexation to Denver. The back of each page provides a small plat map for the block or section being referenced. A selection of oversize zone maps completes the volume run. Later documentation (1951/52-1985) is recorded on "cardex" index cards stored in boxes and may not be as complete as that found in the earlier bound volumes. Also includes assessment rolls from Arapahoe County and Denver (1863-1910), Assessor Land Book (1877), Inventory of the Denver City Property Ledger (1890-1893), Subdivisions A-K (parcel tallies) and assessment maps from the Highland Park and Montclair districts (1906), varied financial ledger volumes (1889-1981) .
