Current economic conditions require that all levels of government make difficult decisions, and the State of Colorado has had to reduce or eliminate many programs in order to balance the budget. As a result, The Colorado Legislature has eliminated funding for the Senior Homestead Exemption for property tax year 2011, which will be reflected in tax bills for qualifying seniors in 2012.
In spite of this suspension, the Assessor will continue to process new applications for the exemption program. Those who qualify for the first time in 2012 are encouraged to apply, and homeowners who have already been approved for the exemption need not reapply.
Senate Bill 10-190 which suspened this program is set to expire in 2012 effecting tax bills in 2013 pending further discussion in the Legislature.

The Abstract of Assessment provides information on the assessed value of property in San Juan County for tax year 2011. The brochure also provides the tax rates and revenues for all taxing entities in the County, and the distribution of taxes by type of taxing authority. These taxes were assessed in 2011 and will be billed and collected in 2012.
