Jefferson County staff seek permission to apply for up to $20,000 in state vehicle tax-credit funds
Summary
County fleet services asked commissioners for direction to apply for up to $20,000 from Colorado's innovation motor vehicle and truck tax credits, under House Bill 23-1272, to offset 2024 vehicle purchase costs.
Fleet services staff asked the Jefferson County Board of County Commissioners on Aug. 19 for direction to apply for state tax-credit funds to offset expenses for four fleet vehicles purchased in 2024.
Janice Mayer, speaking for the fleet services division and the grants management team, said the county is seeking permission "to apply for up to $20,000 from the Colorado innovation motor vehicle and innovation truck tax credits to offset expenses for vehicles we purchased in 2024." Mayer said the authority for the program is "under House Bill 23-1272." She said if awarded, the funds would be deposited into the county fleet fund.
Commissioners present expressed support for submitting the application; the transcript records verbal backing but does not show a formal roll-call vote. Staff did not describe any required local match for the tax-credit funds during the briefing.
Why it matters: The credit would reduce the county’s net cost for recently purchased fleet vehicles and be recorded in the county fleet fund, improving budgeting transparency for vehicle replacement.
Next steps: Staff requested direction to apply; if the county receives the credit, staff will process the award into the fleet fund. The transcript did not include details on which four vehicles were eligible nor the exact application deadline.
