Bill > HB1324

This bill clarifies property tax objection and protest deadlines in Colorado by modifying several sections of state law regarding how and when property owners can challenge their property valuations. The bill updates language to be gender-neutral and standardizes timelines for both real and personal property tax protests, particularly for counties using an alternate protest and appeal procedure. Key changes include specifying that property owners must file objections by June 8 for real property and June 30 for personal property, with hearings to be concluded by June 8 for real property and July 5 for personal property. For counties using an alternate procedure, different deadlines apply, such as mailing assessment information by August 15 and concluding hearings by November 1. The bill also ensures that assessors provide written reasons if they decline to change a property valuation and standardizes the process for filing appeals with the county board of equalization. These modifications aim to provide more clarity and consistency in the property tax assessment protest process across different Colorado counties.
