Colorado must keep its promise to seniors and disabled veterans
For 25 years, Colorado’s Senior Homestead Exemption has been a critical lifeline for older adults and disabled veterans trying to keep up with rising property taxes. The exemption cuts 50% off the first $200,000 of a home’s actual value for qualified homeowners, typically reducing a property tax bill by about $500, though this varies with each local mill levy. In Mesa County alone, more than 11,000 residents depend on this relief, totaling roughly $5 million in local tax reduction every year.
