TAX INFORMATION
The property tax mill levy is based on valuation completed by the County Assessor every two years. The amount of mill levy varies by community, and whether bond issues have been passed by voters.
Property taxes support:
• Schools • Roads • Fire and Police Protection • Library Services • Aims Community College • Metropolitan Improvement Districts State income tax: 4.36% for both individuals and businesses. State sales tax: 2.9% (excludes food) Greeley sales tax: 4.11% (includes food)
Weld County does not collect sales tax. It also bears the distinction of being the only county in Colorado without any debt (and one of very few in the United States)
CLIMATE
Greeley experiences the best of all four seasons! We enjoy a semi-arid, steppe climate with hot summers and primarily mild winters. Relative humidity is low year-round. Abundant sunshine and little precipitation make for a pleasant climate year-round. Precipitation is mostly in the form of snow from October to April, but snowfalls are often light and melt within a few days.
