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.

Call to Action for HB 1119 - Get involved!

Oppose HB 1119 and stop higher land taxes for property taxes.

House Bill 1119, “Authority for Different Mill Levy Rates,” would allow local governments to tax land at a higher rate than the structures built on it — fundamentally changing Colorado’s property tax system.

This proposal creates a split-levy system, moving away from Colorado’s longstanding approach of taxing total property value.

The impact:
• Higher tax burdens for homeowners, especially in areas with rising land values
• Increased pressure on long-time owners, retirees, and those on fixed incomes
• Potential barriers for first-time buyers and affordable housing participants
• Inequities between owner-occupied and non-owner-occupied housing

HB 1119 undermines fairness and uniformity and adds unnecessary complexity for local governments.

HB 1119 will be heard Thursday, April 16.

Take action now. Tell lawmakers to oppose HB 1119 and protect a fair, predictable property tax system: https://nar-co.action.aristotle.com/
