Property Tax Resources
The growing need for targeted property tax relief in Colorado has come to a head this legislative session. Many different ideas for how to deal with rising assessment rates in the state have been proposed. Some aim to cap rates, similar to California’s Proposition-13, to provide broad-based property tax reductions at the expense of community funding. Others look to offset spending and expand affordable housing options by generating revenue off of luxury properties valued over $2 million. The debate has moved quickly and parsing the various proposals, and the impacts they would have on our state, has become increasingly challenging. Throughout, the Bell Policy Center has been digging into the data to provide insight & analysis of what direction our policy-makers should take.
Below is a collection of recently published resources to help give legislators, press, and the public the information they need to make informed decisions on property taxes in Colorado.
