TABOR-linked tax relief plan faces legal challenge

Published Sun, 09 Mar 2025 05:03:41 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado is facing a legal challenge over a last-minute legislative effort to provide property tax relief.Proposition HH is set to go before voters this November. The measure aims to lower property tax rates for the next 10 years. To cover resulting revenue losses for local governments, it would also allow the state to use surplus money that would otherwise be refunded because of TABOR.Advance Colorado, a conservative group, is behind the lawsuit. The group argues that the bill addresses too many topics, in violation of the Colorado Constitution."On top of that, the ballot language is unclear and misleading," Michael Fields, Advance Colorado president, said in a statement.

You may be eligible for Colorado’s property tax deferral program Fields, who is also a Republican political analyst for FOX31, also said: "The governor should call a spec...
