Know the hidden cost before you fall in love with a house.

Many newer Denver-area neighborhoods carry metro district taxes that can add real money to your monthly payment. My plain-English guide shows you what to look for.

True monthly cost calculator

What will this home really cost per month?

Most payment calculators leave out metro district taxes. This one shows them on their own line, so you see the whole picture before you fall in love with a house.

Step 1 · Check an address

Is this home in a metro district?

Enter the address and pick the county. You can look it up on the county's property records, or I'll check it for you.

Look It Up on the County Site ↗Text Dan to Check It
On the county record, look for the list of taxing authorities. If one says "Metro District", the home is in one. Enter that district's mill levy in Step 2 below. Not in Adams, Jefferson, Broomfield, Denver, Weld or Boulder County? Text me the address and I'll look it up.

Estimate only, not a loan offer. Mortgage insurance is a rough estimate (0.5% of the loan per year) when you put down less than 20%. Taxes, insurance and metro district levies vary by home; your lender and the county will give you exact numbers. Need a lender? I'm happy to recommend one.
