HB 24B-1007

HB 24B-1007 is a Colorado bill that aims to reduce property taxes for homes and buildings that exceed state standards for accessibility. Starting from January 1, 2025, properties with more accessible features than required will see their property tax valuations lowered by up to 1%, depending on how many extra accessibility points they have. This means homeowners or building owners who make their properties more accessible can pay less in property taxes. Since the bill has been signed into law, these changes are set to take effect as planned for those who qualify starting next year.
