Schools in Milliken

Schools in town include Milliken Elementary, Milliken Middle School and Knowledge Quest Academy, and high school students attend Roosevelt High School in Johnstown. Always confirm the assigned schools for a specific address with the district.
Taxes, Utilities and HOAs
Milliken is in Weld County, so property taxes follow Weld County mill levies, but the total still varies by neighborhood. Some newer communities are in metro districts that add to the tax bill, and many neighborhoods have HOAs with very different dues and rules. Water and other utility providers can also vary. I pull the actual tax record, HOA documents and utility providers for every home before you write an offer. Learn more in metro districts and HOAs in Northern Colorado.
