Assessor’s Office Helps Eligible Seniors Keep Property Tax Relief After a Move — Follow-Up Report
The Boulder County Assessor’s Office reminds qualifying seniors that Colorado’s property tax exemption portability provision allows them to transfer their exemption to a new primary residence within the county. Seniors who have moved should contact the Assessor’s Office to ensure their exemption transfers correctly.
The project includes improvements along Foothills Highway between Boulder and the intersection with SH-7 / Ute Highway. Construction is scheduled to begin in September 2026 with completion expected within 6 months.
Environmental review of the project area near Foothills Highway found 8 sensitive species and 1 wetland areas requiring mitigation. The Community Justice Services worked with Colorado Parks and Wildlife to develop a habitat conservation plan.
Background
Transportation access remains a key concern. Boulder County’s Via mobility program provides door-to-door transit service for residents in Boulder and surrounding communities who cannot access fixed-route bus service. RTD routes B, J, and BOLT serve major corridors.
According to Carlos Rivera, director of Community Justice Services, this program served 40% more residents in 2024 compared to the previous year. “We’re seeing unprecedented demand from communities across Boulder County, particularly in Boulder and the surrounding area,” Carlos Rivera said.
