Notes:
The property tax limit will apply to all property taxing entities with the exception of school districts and any county,city and county,city,or town that has
adopted a home rule charter(29-1-306(1)(b),C.R.S.).The revenue limit applies to any property taxing entities that have authority to exceed current 5.5%
and the TABOR limit.
The Division of Local Government("the Division")has developed technical assistance resources to assist taxing entities with the calculation of the
property tax limit available online here(https://dlg.colorado.gov/budget-information-and-resources).Please understand that the Division has no statutory or
administrative role in calculating or enforcing the property tax limit,and each taxing entity's revenue limits and voter approval history may be unique.The
technical assistance resources provided by the Division with regard to the property tax limit are not definitive and not legal advice.Taxing entities may
choose to calculate the property tax limit with a methodology that is different from the methodology presented in the Division's technical assistance
resources.The Division always recommends that taxing entities consult with an attorney in order to understand and apply the various statutory and
constitutional revenue limits that may apply to that taxing entity.
NOTE: ALL LEVIES MUST BE CERTIFIED to the COUNTY COMMISSIONERS NO LATER THAN DECEMBER 15.
