What school districts serve Erie?
Erie is served by St. Vrain Valley Schools and Boulder Valley School District. School boundaries change. Verify assignment for any address directly with the district.
Which district a home falls in depends on the exact address, not the neighborhood name, so check the district's own lookup tool for every home on your list.
Is Erie in Boulder County or Weld County?
Both. Erie spans the Boulder County and Weld County line. The county affects your property tax rate, the county offices you use, and often the school district. Compare the full tax bill for each address you consider, not just the county rate.
What are metro districts and do they affect my taxes?
Many newer Erie neighborhoods sit in a metropolitan district, which may add to the annual property tax bill on top of any HOA dues. The exact amount depends on the address. Verify it on the county assessor or treasurer record, and read the Erie metro districts guide.

“Brandy was fantastic to work with as we searched for a rental home in Colorado from out of state. She was extremely responsive, and did a great job listening to, and addressing our needs/requests in a home. She took video tours of homes for us and was careful to show all the details she could since we couldn't be there in person. Working with renters is often unpaid work for a realtor, but that did not stop Brandy from still giving her all to help us. I couldn't have found a better realtor to help us navigate an out of state move, and would highly recommend Brandy to anyone searching for a home in this area.”
“Brandy! Excellent is a good word to describe her incredible work ethic, personality and love of her job. Brandy helped me find the perfect house for my situation, needs and desires. Our particular sale was long distance and Brandy was always attentive, responsive, and calm in explaining the specifics in an often complicated transaction. I need to stress calm because I tend to get overly anxious about things but, thanks to Brandy, everything was handled perfectly in a professional and easy manner. I highly recommend Brandy for your real estate needs as I'm certain she will perform the job from start to finish without a hitch and with a smile on her face.”
