HB 22-1223

House Bill 22-1223, which has been signed into law in Colorado, provides a property tax exemption for mobile homes and manufactured homes with an actual value of $28,000 or less. It also changes the process by which counties notify owners about potential sales due to unpaid property taxes, requiring only online publication instead of newspaper notices if certain conditions are met. This bill will reduce revenue for school districts, so it includes funding from the state to cover this loss. The law is now in effect and impacts mobile home owners who qualify for the tax exemption.
