The county assessor's actual value (the 2025 reappraisal, an estimate of market value in mid-2024), from the state's parcel records. We match parcels by the owner's name where their office or race is, or by the legal description or address on their disclosure; we don't show addresses, parcel numbers or co-owners, or, for judges and district attorneys, the county. Property held in a name we can't connect to them isn't here.

Findings
Worth a look Gifts
$5,250 in gifts from CONSULATE OF ISRAEL IN LOS ANGELES, CA in 2025, over the gift ban's $75 limit
Their own gift reports list 1 item from CONSULATE OF ISRAEL IN LOS ANGELES, CA received in 2025, worth $5,250.00 in all: District attorneys delegation to israel; roundtrip flights: $2300, meals: $1200, transportation: $500, hotel accommodations: $1250, total: $5,250 ($5,250.00). The Colorado Constitution's gift ban limits what an official may accept from one person in a calendar year to $75 (as adjusted for inflation), with exceptions: food and admission where they speak or answer questions, a nonprofit's or government's reasonable expenses for a meeting where they take part, gifts from relatives and personal friends on a special occasion, tokens and informational material, and anything they paid fair value for. Reporting a gift is required either way; the report doesn't say which exception, if any, applies.
What to check- Whether an exception in art. XXIX, sec. 3(3) applies: a speaking role or scheduled program, a nonprofit (under 5% for-profit funding) or government paying for a meeting they took part in, a relative or personal friend, or payment of fair value by the official.
- The Independent Ethics Commission's advisory opinions and letter rulings on similar gifts.
- The report itself in TRACER (Supplemental Reports: Gifts, Honoraria and Other Benefits).
Rule: Gifts over the gift ban's limit

XXIX, sec. 3(2) (the Independent Ethics Commission's copy); the limit is $75 from 2023 (IEC Position Statement 23-01) ✓ quoted from the saved copy · how this rule works
