Great work on using your voices, Realtors. HB 1119 was defeated in Committee, ensuring a fair tax system for homeowners. Keep up the advocacy efforts - we are a strong community!

HB 1119, “Authority for Different Mill Levy Rates,” has been defeated in committee.

This proposal would have fundamentally restructured Colorado’s property tax system by allowing land to be taxed at a higher rate than the structures built on it.

Its defeat stops a policy that would have:
• Disproportionately impacted retirees, those on fixed incomes, and low- to moderate-income homeowners
• Increased the risk of displacement as rising land values drove higher property taxes
• Created new barriers for first-time buyers and those in affordable housing programs
• Distorted the housing market by favoring higher-density rental properties over homeownership
• Exacerbated Colorado’s housing shortage by pushing homeowners out of their communities

Thank you to the REALTORS® who took action and helped protect a fair and predictable property tax system.
