Is there a metro district tax in Sterling Ranch?
Yes. Most Sterling Ranch areas are in Sterling Ranch Colorado Metropolitan Districts that levy 95.522 mills (2025 levy, paid in 2026); some subdistricts are lower. On a $700,000 home that is roughly $4,200 a year, included in your property tax bill. Which district your lot is in depends on the parcel — we check it for you before you sign.

What is the total property tax on a new home in Sterling Ranch?

Do I need my own Realtor to buy a new build in Sterling Ranch?
You don't have to, but the builder's sales team works for the builder. Most builders here only let you bring your own agent if the agent is with you (or registers you) at your FIRST visit — Lennar, Tri Pointe and Trumark all require this. Our help usually costs you nothing extra when the builder pays the agent. Call or text us before your first model visit.
Do I have to use the builder's lender?
No, but most incentives (rate buydowns, closing credits) require the builder's affiliated lender. We help you compare the builder's offer against an outside lender so you see the real savings.
What internet is available in Sterling Ranch?
Sterling Ranch is known as Colorado's first 1-gig fiber community; Quantum Fiber is available to every home.
