Census-designated place Eldorado Springs is a census-designated place in Colorado, in Boulder County. A census-designated place is an unincorporated community that the Census Bureau defines for statistics; it has no city government of its own.
The Census Bureau does not publish a reliable median property tax bill for Eldorado Springs. The Census estimate of the median home value is too imprecise to report.

How to read these numbers
- These are estimates from a survey, not a count. The American Community Survey asks a sample of households. The ± figure is the Census Bureau’s margin of error: the true value is very likely within that range of the estimate. Small places have large margins.
- “Too imprecise to report” means the margin of error is at least half of the estimate, so printing the number would suggest accuracy that does not exist. A “rough guide only” note means the margin is a quarter to a half of the estimate.
- Property tax bill and home value are medians for owner-occupied homes. Half of the homes are above the figure and half below. A median bill is not the rate set by a city or town; the bill combines taxes levied by every local government that serves the home, such as the school district and county.
- “Calculated” rows are worked out by Untax the Roof from the Census figures above them. They compare two medians, so they describe the place, not a particular household.
- Missing is not zero. Where the Census Bureau publishes no figure, this page says so.

How it works. County tax-lien sale followed by treasurer-deed/public-auction process
Excess sale money. Post-Tyler statutory reforms created/revised auction process intended to protect taxpayer value above tax debt; current process includes treatment of proceeds through auction/deed framework
