Commissioners grant senior property tax exemption appeal for petitioner
Summary
Sitting as the Board of Equalization, Pitkin County commissioners granted a senior property tax exemption credit of $250 for tax years 2025 and 2026 to an appellant who owned property in the county since 1957; one commissioner abstained due to absence at the prior hearing.
Pitkin County commissioners, sitting as the Board of Equalization on Sept. 10, approved an appeal for a senior property tax exemption and awarded a $250 senior property tax credit for tax years 2025 and 2026.
County staff summarized the findings from the petitioner’s case heard Aug. 27: the property had been owned by the petitioner since 1957 and the petitioner met the qualifications for the senior property tax exemption prior to the exemption being initially granted. Staff reminded the board that the future of the statewide senior property tax exemption program is subject to a statewide vote in 2026.
The board voted to grant the requested relief. The meeting record notes one commissioner abstained from the vote because they were not present for the original presentation; the tally recorded in the minutes was three votes in favor, zero opposed, with one abstention.
The board directed staff to document the findings in a resolution recording the award of the credit.
No additional appeals or hearings were scheduled at the time.
