Letters: Demand lawmakers address these ballistic property taxes

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 09:02:05 GMT

Possibility of large property tax bills create concern, spark ideasRe: “Big property tax hikes in ’24,” April 27 news story“Unprecedented Gains” in home valuations will result in unprecedented property tax increases, reports The Post. That’s messed up. We homeowners have zero control over housing prices. We bought our houses because we needed a place to live.

How about gradually stepping up our home assessments over several years instead of all at once? That would allow us fixed-income seniors more time to adjust our budgets.I know that politicians have an insatiable appetite for tax dollars. The housi...

Of course, it should be torn down to fulfill the city’s desired goal of urban infill development in City Park West and the adjacent Uptown neighborhood.That goal is already coming to fruition with multiple-story apartments and condos being developed all along 18th Avenue bringing needed density to an area between the downtown core and its largest park. Most of the remaining homes in the area are used by small businesses like non-profits and law firms.And yet, the Denver City Council voted unanimously to ensure the house will stand forever on a piece of land near transit, major employers, and downtown that is more than a quarter acre large...
