HB 18-1386

House Bill 18-1386, now signed into law, allows Colorado county treasurers to accept prepayments for property taxes from taxpayers who want to pay ahead of time. These payments can be made up to one year before the tax is due and do not earn interest for the taxpayer. The collected taxes are then distributed to local government entities in January of the year they become due. This bill affects property owners who might prefer to prepay their property taxes, providing them with an option to manage their finances more flexibly.
