Colorado House Passes Property Tax Deal, Moves to Senate

Legislators navigate a complex special session to address soaring property taxes and avert contentious ballot measures.

The House approved the primary property tax bill with a 45-18 vote, aiming for additional homeowner and commercial relief.
A proposed ballot measure requiring local voter approval for future statewide tax initiatives passed by a narrow margin.
The session was convened to negotiate with conservative groups to prevent deeper tax cuts on the November ballot.
Progressive Democrats voiced strong opposition, citing disproportionate benefits for wealthy homeowners.
The Senate will now review the bills, with the special session potentially concluding by Thursday.
