Deadline is July 15 to Qualify for Reinstated Senior Property Tax Exemption
Republicans started the 2012 legislative session committed to reinstating the Senior Property Tax Exemption. With a little bit of luck and an improved economy, the state budget allocates $98 million to help seniors with paying their property taxes.
At the start of the 2012 session, Governor John Hickenlooper favored increasing the eligibility for low income seniors through the Property Tax, Rent and Heat credit program. Rep John Keflas, D-Fort Collins sponsored a bill to expand eligibility standards, but it was not approved by the legislature. Meanwhile Rep Frank McNaulty, Speaker of the House of Representatives, R-Highlands Ranch, was able to maintain funding for education and reinstate the senior property tax exemption.
