What to know before voting on Prop HH

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 21:23:55 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — Colorado voters already casting their ballots ahead of the Nov. 7 election. One issue is taking up half of voters' blue ballot information booklet, and it’s been confusing voters for months. Proposition HH aims to limit how much property taxes will go up statewide, but it would also make changes to what the state does with excess taxpayer dollars. Colorado Republicans offer counterproposal to Prop HH Normally, you get that money back in a refund under the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights, but Prop HH aims to keep some of that surplus to fund local governments because of the decrease in expected property taxes should the measure pass.A big part of the issue behind Prop HH: No one knows for sure how much money you could lose or save, as it hinges on how Colorado’s economy is doing over the next decade. The nonpartisan Legislative Council did publish a tool to help estimate property taxes with or without the measure, but it only looks at the next two years.Colorado Senate Pr...
