Bill	Eliminate Property Tax Abatement Refund Interest	If property taxes are levied erroneously or illegally and a taxpayer has not protested the valuation within the time permitted by law, then the taxpayer has 2 years from the start of the property tax year to file a petition for abatement or refund. The board of county commissioners is required to abate the taxes, and the taxpayer is entitled to a refund for the incorrect amount and, in some circumstances, refund interest equal to 1% per month. The bill delays the start of the refund interest so that it accrues from the date a complete abatement petition is filed, with the exception of an abatement or refund for taxes paid as a result of omitted property being added to the assessment roll.	us/states/co	Colorado General Assembly	2017A	HB 17-1049	Colorado HB 17-1049 (2017A)	bill		enacted	Dan Thurlow Don Coram Matt Gray	12	16	4	2017-01-11T07:00:00+00:00	2017-04-24T06:00:00+00:00	openstates	ocd-bill/adbb48dc-56ee-439e-a2a0-f0f12abf1ca7	http://leg.colorado.gov/bills/hb17-1049	39c553a0c8a6f07bfba918ef35a0ba9ae20d68e44fe2a9f58bc701613b0bad52	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-co

Colorado HB 17-1049 (2017A) — Eliminate Property Tax Abatement Refund Interest

If property taxes are levied erroneously or illegally and a taxpayer has not protested the valuation within the time permitted by law, then the taxpayer has 2 years from the start of the property tax year to file a petition for abatement or refund. The board of county commissioners is required to abate the taxes, and the taxpayer is entitled to a refund for the incorrect amount and, in some circumstances, refund interest equal to 1% per month. The bill delays the start of the refund interest so that it accrues from the date a complete abatement petition is filed, with the exception of an abatement or refund for taxes paid as a result of omitted property being added to the assessment roll.
