Logan County, CO treasurer before an accounting office build-out or lease

Before a build-out or a new lease, a lender or landlord may ask whether the property taxes on the building are current. In Colorado, the county assessor values property and the county treasurer collects property taxes. For an accounting office moving into a new space, a copy of the most recent tax statement for the building, from the owner or the Logan County Treasurer, answers that question early.

Business personal property, such as furniture and equipment, may also be listed with the county assessor. Confirm current rules and dates with each county office directly.

How Sterling, CO retailers lease commercial property before borrowing

A lease can come before the loan: the lease fixes the location, the rent and the build-out allowance, and a partner reads the loan request against it.

• Check the zoning district for the use; the Sterling zoning guide covers the city's districts.
• Ask for the landlord's improvement allowance in writing.
• Match the lease term to any loan term for the build-out.
• Get a contractor's bid before sizing the request.
