Local Government Reimbursement Reporting
House Bill 24-233 requires assessors to compile local government reimbursement data and report it to the Division of Property Taxation by March 1, 2025. To aid in providing this data, the Division created a spreadsheet that will capture the necessary data. The link to the spreadsheet can be found below.
Only taxing entities with a decrease in real property assessed values from 2022 to 2024 are eligible for the reimbursement; cell B8 will indicate a negative % change for these entities. Please do not send spreadsheets to the Division unless they have a negative % change.
Upon completion of the spreadsheets, please email them to dola_dpt_reporting@state.co.us. To assist in our review process, please send them upon completion. If your county does not have any entities that qualify for reimbursement, please send an email stating that fact to dola_dpt_reporting@state.co.us for tracking purposes.
After the Division reviews your spreadsheets, instructions for accessing the portal and entering the data will be provided in an email from the Division.
If you have any questions please contact Lori DeCrow at (970) 248-7308 or lori.decrow@state.co.us or Tony Werckman at (303) 864-7767 or tony.werckman@state.co.us.
