Since 2023, The Tax Savings Gabe Evans Received From His Property’s Agricultural Tax Designation Were Reportedly Almost Double The Income He Reported From Ranching And Beef Production

Evans’ Home In Weld County Received An Agricultural Tax Designation, Which Entitled Him To “Ongoing Tax Breaks”

Evans’ Property In Weld County Was Designated As Agricultural, Which Entitled Him To “Ongoing Tax Breaks.” “Evans’ property in Weld County is designated as ‘agricultural,’ which entitles the congressman ongoing tax breaks. Experts say the key to the agricultural designation — as a farm or ranch — is to show monetary profit, and there are a variety of ways, under Colorado’s rules, that an assessor can conclude that a parcel of land should be considered agricultural and receive the resultant tax breaks.” [Colorado Times Recorder, 6/10/25]

2023-2025: Evans Saved An Estimated $3,000 From Agricultural Tax Breaks On His Property

The Agricultural Designation On Evans’ Property Saved Him About $1,000 A Year On Property Taxes. “If it weren’t designated as agricultural, Evans’ approximately 17 acres of land would be valued at between $18,000 and $20,000 per acre, said Dones, making the market value of Evans’ land $306,000 to $340,000. This range would be multiplied by the residential tax rate of 6.15% to get a range for the basis of Evans’ tax if his land were not agricultural. That works out to $18,686 – $20,910. ‘So instead of [the local assessed value] being just over $2,000, it would be $20,000,’ said Dones, who then multiplied the amount by the local mill levy to conclude that Evans would pay ‘about $1,000 more in tax, and that was all rough rounding.’ Evans paid $1,413.06 in tax on his property in 2025, according to county records, so the increase could raise his taxes to around $2,400. Thanks to the agricultural designation of his land, he’s saved thousands in taxes since he bought the property in 2018.” [Colorado Times Recorder, 9/4/25]
