Homeowners across Colorado are bracing themselves for a hefty increase in their property tax bills. This is the year county assessors re-value homes and properties.
On Wednesday, those assessors warned homeowners that the values are increasing from 30% to more than 60% in some counties.
...
"The fact is that there is no reprieve for homeowners this year. From corner to corner of Douglas County and probably the state, all values have gone up quite significantly. If it's rural, if it's suburban, if it's large, if it's small, if it's expensive or inexpensive, all properties in Douglas County in the residential class are going up very much," said Douglas County Assessor Toby Damisch.
All of the county assessors urged homeowners to take a careful look at the assessment and see if their homes would have sold at that value last summer when the assessments were made. If not, there is a process to appeal. Those instructions are included with the valuations.

Colorado homeowners, no longer protected by the Gallagher Amendment, face unprecedented and unsettling increases in their property taxes next year
People really do not own their homes.
If they would legalize Weed, they wouldn’t need to raise taxes.
I said, if they would legalize Weed...
RE Taxes pricing people out of homeownership
“You will own nothing and be happy”
No prop 13 there?
no longer protected by the Gallagher Amendment
With a super majority in the California legislature, it will not be long before Prop 13 is ground into dust.
Term Limits. Gallagher Amendment. TABOR?
It seems like every time I start to remember how beautiful Colorado is, I get these little reminders of just how Californicated it has become.
Keep voting Democrat...
Yes Prop 13 I owned home in Calif when that was done. House double in price every 5 years but tax went up 2% a year. Sold in 94. Still have friends who own houses from the 60s which cost maybe 30k, now worth a million. The buyer who pays the new price gets the start up tax but can afford it.
They voted for it ...
>>No prop 13 there?
The idiots repealed their version of it in 2020. Stolen elections have consequences...
everything liberals touch turns to $hit...
Bkmk - California sanctuary
Increased assessments does not mean increased taxes .
Can anyone explain to me why, when the “values” of houses go up, taxes do as well? Does it suddenly cost the government more to support the infrastructure?
Rigged / stolen elections have consequences.
LOL...10 years ago pot was supposed to solve ALL problems. Now you can’t hire good people that show up on time and don’t act like children.
They sold their 1100sqft house for 800,000 after listing for 750,000. Moved to Idaho and bought 3000 sq ft house for 500k. Now all the fleeing Californians to CDA, ID have risen the ID home to 1.2mm. Lucky!
