Colorado Democrats press agenda on property taxes, tangle with GOP over timing as special session begins

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 19:26:17 GMT

What was supposed to be a breakneck special session of the Colorado legislature instead turned to pure brakes Friday evening as the Senate’s majority Democrats battled with Republicans over rules that threatened to prolong consideration of bills by days.The beginning of the special session chugged along for most of the day, as Democrats, who hold wide majorities in the legislature, planned for a three-day sprint through Sunday to pass legislation aimed at softening historic property tax increases facing Coloradans early next year. The proposals include spending hundreds of millions of dollars to cut property tax rates and make up at least some of the resulting losses that local governments and school districts would feel from the cuts.But Republicans forced Democrats to take an evening floor vote to allow for the fast-tracking they planned for legislation in that chamber, via a special order. Without it, the Senate’s normal rules that govern the time between hearings and...

High interest rates continue to depress Colorado’s real estate market.According to the October Market Trends Housing Report from the Colorado Association of Realtors, the number of homes available last month dropped about 13% while sales fell nearly 15%.“Combined with a scarcity of homes for sale in the most affordable price ranges, the market segments with the most activity are in the $600s and up — driving median price incrementally higher from October of last year,” said Fort Collins-area realtor Chris Hardy.In October, the median price for a single-family home was $570,250, nearly a 3% increase over October 2022.Waiting in hopes both prices and interest rates will fall may frustrate potential homebuyers.“Savvy buyers are taking advantage of the fall price reductions and the seller’s willingness to offer concessions. Those waiting on the sidelines may be disappointed when the rates go down and competition goes up,” said Boulder/Broomfield-area ...
