Arapahoe county tax increase

Got my card in the mail today. Says my value went up 60 percent. I'm assuming my taxes are going to go up about the same. Is the government so out of it that they are going to let this shit happen. For many, myself included, this is going to hurt. I know I can appeal, but i've never heard that really be worth the trouble.

I was about to post the same thing.

Mine only went up 44.5%.

I too was going to ask about appeal. I am going to look deeper into it- I have until June 8.

It's going to be bad.

Yup, another Arapahoe resident here at 35%, unfuckingbelieveable!!! I'm 66, going to leave my long term employer next year, already getting the "senior" discount of 10% for this year and there was still a shortage in my escrow account, this will suck on my estimated fixed income. What the hell world are they living in?? Housing prices are dropping. There's an identical house to mine for sale at under market value two properties away from me (owner has to move due to medical conditions) that has been sitting for sale for almost a month, no offers.

I like the comment about the the repeal of the limit in 2020. Texas has an annual cap. Its even more maddening when the waste has been so off the charts in the last couple years. My kids school re-did all the classrooms, gave out "decorating" money to teachers to add their own style. The school has only been open 11 years.

Funny. Let it happen? It?s happening because of them. Yay revenue!

We need to repeal all property taxes. Do you really own anything if the goons can take it because you can't pay them a tax to keep it?

Income and sales should be enough tax to operate at minimal interference.

Are my wages gonna go up? I don't think so. It's gonna be impossible to live in colorado soon for the blue collar worker. My property taxes have tripled in the last five years. This state is lost what are these leftists democrats gonna do when they chase out all the tax payers, and only all the low life dopers are left.

Exactly. The legislature allowed the property tax limit repeal on the ballot because they were so freaking mad there was a limit to how much money they could steal from us.

The property tax limit was in the actual Colorado constitution. And our dumbass friends and neighbors voted to repeal it.

And those same people are so dumb they won't even realize they voted this on themselves. And they'll vote for the same kinda shit next time then complain when the state gets even worse.

I know. I work for a smaller city. I see it up close.

I was utterly confused by how many taxes got approved by voters last go round. In the 15 years I've lived here, property taxes have tripled.
