If you are a National Guard or Reserve member called to federal active duty, you can defer paying the property tax on your home while you are activated. The deferral is not forgiveness: you pay the deferred tax when you are deactivated, or when you sell or transfer the property. Once approved, the treasurer issues you a certificate of deferral.
Apply online through the Colorado property tax deferral portal between January 1 and April 1. For a paper application or help, email cotreasproptax@state.co.us or call 303-866-5327.
Your federal active duty orders showing 30 or more consecutive days, proof you own and live in the property, and evidence that all prior years’ property taxes are paid.
