Commercial properties must be astronomical.................
Never have… pretty soon we won’t own our banking accounts, cars etc.
but hey… they voted for this.. of course after trumps mail in ballots, do we.
There is only one provision for this in our constitution.
That is just government, protecting themselves from the effects of inflation.
Besides, they "need" all the income they can extort from the citizens. Anything that will automatically raise taxes is going to find favor with government officials. It makes it much easier to avoid being blamed.
There is very little connection between the value of a property and the cost to government of supporting related infrastructure. The direct connection is with the number of people using the property.
Property taxes will skyrocket 40-50% with Jared Schutz Polis MIA from promised action...Jared Schutz Polis has yet to put forth any plan to prevent a looming bloodbath and cap residential property tax increases as he promised .

Yes...since they can’t outlaw home ownership, this is a way to subjugate the lower middle class. Watch Dr. Zhivago!
It is very sad. A few years ago, I really wanted to move to Colorado, as I love mountains and skiing. Now? Not a chance. Real estate prices are insane, and their taxes will soon be as bad as NJ, where I presently pay almost five figures for property tax on an 1850 sf. house on .23 acres of land.
Exactly. It's quite a scheme, really. What paper "owners" do have is a 'Color of Title', not allodial. Homes were not even built for people... they were built for the Banks.
Exactly, try skipping your property and SCHOOL taxes and see how long you keep your home. The tax man and schools own you.
Go woke, go broke…

Sooner or later, people with guns will show up and take your house if you refuse to pay and refuse to leave.
“They voted for it ..”
No, I didn’t. Don’t be smug.
Give a progressive an inch and they will destroy a city, a state, and then a country.
My friend who lives in Colorado and has for a very long time said the governor there has made the state, not just the city of Denver a sanctuary state.
coloradans will finally realize that they have been californicated when they approve a durango-trinidad high speed rail

I’m guessing the weed industry didn’t help the tax situation any...
Most of the time, it does mean increased taxes. They are not always proportional to the increased assessments. BTDT.
I have filed appeals, and usually gotten an automatic reduction of 5-10% in the final property tax (after it was increased). The folks in the assessor's office simply want people to go away and won't contest a minor reduction.
I suppose that if one attempts a large reduction from the appeals process, the clerks may become vindictive and increase the assessment even further. I haven't pushed those limits.
Then there was our county commissioner who owned a residence assessed at 4% of fair market value for over a decade. Just a minor oversight from the assessor's office, I guess. Or a private version of "Proposition 13". That deal was not available to me or anybody else. A lot of people asked about it, and the clerks were instructed not to discuss the matter.
I’ll bet they can’t wait. Still less than they were paying in Cauliphonya.
In New Jersey property taxes are a way of keeping poor people out of more affluent areas. A $10,000+++ property tax bill on a nice home is not uncommon. In more suburban/rural areas, builders buy up cheap small homes and knock them down or build them out into expensive homes that also pay higher taxes. Poorer families have few choices but to rent and even rental housing for a family is very expensive.
We were looking at some nice bigger houses recently in central NJ and the cheapest property tax bill was $18,000. Every house we looked at, sold within two weeks of being listed.
I have lived in colorado over 50 years and have never voted democrat nor has my family. My beautiful state has her. ruined by the influx of blue state voters But thanks for the kind thoughts
