BY JESSE PAUL THE COLORADO SUN
The debate over how to tackle rising property taxes is poised to dominate the final days of Colorado’s 2022 legislative session, as Gov. Jared Polis, Democratic lawmakers and Colorado Concern, a deep-pocketed business organization, hastily negotiate a plan to provide relief that’s sufficient but that doesn’t also deny local governments billions in future funding.
With just two weeks left in the lawmaking term, the high-stakes conversations, which have been happening behind the scenes for months, are getting more intense.
Polis and Democrats are trying to quickly introduce and pass property tax reduction legislation to head off a 2022 ballot measure from Colorado Concern, a nonprofit that represents the interests of the state’s top business executives, that would permanently cap property tax increases.
While everyone generally agrees that something needs to be done to reduce Coloradans’ property tax tabs, there is a wide chasm when it comes to how and how much. As of Tuesday, the policy details of the deal were still very much in flux.
The legislation could come in many different forms, including a property valuation rate reduction. Lawmakers have also set aside $200 million for property tax relief, but it’s unclear how they would spend it.
It appears any deal would only be temporary, lasting as few as two years, as both sides work toward finding a long-term solution.
“There are a lot of cooks in the kitchen,” said Senate President Steve Fenberg. “We just need to get (the bill) right before we introduce it.”
Asked if there were any specific options on the table, Fenberg didn’t directly answer, only saying that Democratic leadership at the Capitol is trying to figure out the policy proposal that would “provide the most relief.”
This is the second year of endof-session debate around property taxes — which fund schools — at the Colorado Capitol. In 2021, lawmakers passed an 11th-hour billtemporarily slashing property tax valuation rates and recategorizing properties for taxation purposes in order to blunt the effect of an ultimately unsuccessful ballot measure pushed by conservatives that would have resulted in a much larger property tax cut.
Those involved in the discussions this year have said they are essentially negotiating under threat: if they don’t pass a property tax relief bill, Colorado Concern could move forward with a measure siphoning as much as $1.3 billion in expected tax revenue from local coffers in its first year.
“It’s kind of an unfortunate way of having conversations about what the proper policy is for moving forward,” said House Speaker Alec Garnett, D-Denver. “It’s not a great way of governing. It’s not the best way of doing business.”
Garnett says he doesn’t see a permanent fix on the horizon, which means it’s possible — if not likely — that the annual property tax debate continues as property values rise and property taxes continue to follow suit.
Colorado Concern, however, sees its proposal — which would cap property valuation increases at roughly 3% for taxation purposes — as that permanent solution.
“The measure provides critical relief for taxpayers while balancing the needs of local communities who depend on tax revenue to fund essential services,” Mike Kopp, a former state lawmaker who leads Colorado Concern, said in a written statement earlier this year when the proposal was unveiled.
Polis’ office said in a statement Tuesday night that “the governor will continue to partner with the state legislature and local leaders to save Coloradans money.”
Progressives, meanwhile, led by the liberal-leaning Bell Policy Center, are pleading with Democrats this year not to give up too much in their efforts to keep Colorado Concern from moving forward with a ballot measure.They fear a major property tax reduction would spell disaster for school and local government funding.
“Let’s not let Colorado Concern dictate the terms of how we solve this,” said Scott Wasserman, who leads Bell.
Colorado Concern has filed a host of similar proposed ballot measures as it works to determine which to advance. But a poll commissioned by the Bell Policy Center indicated that one of Colorado Concern’s main proposals, Initiative 75, which would cap property value increases at 3% for taxation purposes, lacks enough support to pass in November.

money, we know the $400 will help people now.”
While $400 would certainly help, many Coloradans interviewed Monday by Rocky Mountain PBS said the $400 may not go as far as it used to, as inflation has hit the entire country hard the last several months.
“It’s better than not having an extra $400, but it doesn’t go far enough,” said Thomas Law, a Denver resident and a service worker at Union Station. “It’s not a lot in the grand scheme of things, as an adult in Denver.”
Law said his rent is about $1,600, which is a price he would have expected to pay in New York City, but did not feel it was warranted in Denver.
As a full-time restaurant server, Law said tips are his most reliable source of income, and with increasing costs of food, his restaurant has seen fewer visitors than it used to. Those who do patronize the restaurant often tip less than they once did, Law added.
“We heavily rely on people coming in and buying things and tipping, and with everything getting more expensive, people are coming less often and they’re tipping less often,” Law said. “It’s definitely an issue and I think something needs to change.”
Others said they would take the $400 as a small victory, even if it wouldn’t cover much.
“Being a teacher, we get summers off and I like to do some little trips, but I’m thinking it’s not going to happen this year because gas is so expensive,” said Diane Hopkins, a Thornton resident who works with adults with disabilities. “I could probably go get myself some nice flowers, though.”
Though the money may not be much, Logan Gunnum, a Denver resident who is unsheltered and saddled with medical debt, said it would be a lifeline for him.
“The first thing I would do is make sure I had a steady place to live, and that way I could get the rest of my life sorted out,” Gunnum said. “They talk about how there are all of these different services and things for people in my position, but there really isn’t.”
Coloradans can expect the money to be sent to the address they used to fill out their taxes.
