Certification of Tax Levies

Pursuant to 39-1-111 C. R. S., the county is required to certify the tax levies for cities, towns, municipalities, school districts and special districts within its jurisdiction to the Assessor and report them to State of Colorado each year.

The statutory deadline for local taxing jurisdictions within Clear Creek County that are planning on levying a property tax to submit a certification of tax levy for the property tax to the county is December 15 pursuant to 39-5-128(1) C.R.S. The certification of tax levy can be submitted on the form provided by State of Colorado on the Division of Local Government (DOLA) website.

Please note that role of the county in this process is ministerial and non-discretionary. The county assumes no liability or responsibility associated with any levy of any taxing jurisdiction except for certification. Each taxing authority is responsible for ensuring that the mill levy submitted for certification complies with all applicable state statutes. You are encouraged to utilize the resources made available by DOLA to gain a thorough understanding of the statutes that apply to your agency.
