GOTTA pay for all those HOMELESS SOMEHOW.
Legislature cannot change it on their own.
Vote of people required.
AND-—THEY ARE EMPTY !!!!!!!
Voting Suckers.
They can tunnel under Wolf Creek Pass. We can copy the Swiss
Many locations will adjust the tax rate (lower it) after adjusting the values (raising them) to make it revenue neutral.
Some other locations will turn it into a tax windfall—no one size fits all.
What does that actually mean for the tax bill?
A number of years ago, there was a huge uproar in a Utah county over the tax bills doubling. The average bill went from $200 up to $400 a year!
Excellent! Abuse the ignorant that voted these people in, abuse them brutally.
We already got the hefty tax hike bills in Georgia with our RINO government.
Individual tax districts can - for one year - temporarily reduce their take from the tax payers.
Crying shame that the RIGHT doesn’t have any army of over zealous lawyers that will sue over the sun shining and a group of “anonymous” uber rich benefactors to confidentially and quietly pay the bills.

How great would it be to see a groups of financial forensic types, funded by some big money people, descend on these counties to balance the books.
But, folks, 5,000,000 and counting have and continue to pour over the border. Someone has to pay those bills. Lots of kids have to go to school, lots of bi-lingual teachers need to be hired, lots of Section 8 needs to be paid. That stuff gets expensive. And Colorado being a sanctuary state, I’m sure they’re flowing in.
So many small towns are about to be ruined. They’ll become like those towns in interior California that have been taken over by the cartels.
As for the pot money, they can’t use it for much since the Fed’s still consider it ill gotten gains from something illegal.
This is what 81,000,000 voters, real/dead/fictitious, voted for.
I feel your pain ...
In WA State, where marijuana was legalized at the same time as Colorado, the maijuana taxes don’t go to the general fund. The law states that the taxes must go back into the drug user community. So. The taxes are used for things like drug clinics and homeless housing with no drug restrictions.
The latest proposal is a sort of traveling free drug clinic, where the government will not only supply the needles and pipes, but the drugs and narcan, too.
IN many states taxes are applied in ‘mills’ - a single mill may cost a homeowner with a $100,000 house $5.00 in taxes per year.
If the home is now worth $200,000 the tax is now $10.00.
Gotcha. Sorry.
By their behavior, they became super irate at what we would consider really miniscule taxes.
We need to take note.
We gripe about the first amendment, but that really contributes far less to our "freedom" than would drastically lower taxes.
What we have now is perpetual indentured servitude to all our layers of government.. federal, state, local. All taken together, half of our time is spent working to support a lazy government class and an equally unproductive recipient indigent class in the private sector.
The press successfully distracts us with cerebral arguments about freedom of speech, etc., but really our freedom has been denied primarily by our overbearing tax infrastructure and the mammoth and totally unproductive government worker and dependent classes.
” If not, there is a process to appeal. Those instructions are included with the valuations.”
Haha yes there is a process.. but don’t expect you will win.
I appealed when they pulled this crap where I live.. even though I had comps and documentary evidence of sales etc etc showing their assessment was absolute garbage and they had factual inaccuracies in their records about my property.. my appeal was denied.
Bend over and take it Peons.
Why does the state need to increase taxes?
More then half our money goes for taxes.
The roads around here in California are getting worse and worse. In Minnesota I use google’s street view to see my old suburban neighborhood and the roads now have lots of cracks and have for years as you can move the slider to go back years for street view.
In the old days when I lived there the city would pave the streets. I saw it a few times growing up.
Same reason a drunk wants more booze, a druggie wants more drugs... politicians - never enough of our money..
