Seniors who have moved should contact the Assessor&#8217;s Office to ensure their exemption transfers correctly.<\/p>\n<p>Safety data from the Lafayette area shows 17 reported incidents in the past 12 months, a 10% change from the previous year. The Sheriff&#8217;s Office has increased patrols along Foothills Highway and added community outreach programs in response to resident feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Colorado state law requires all counties to provide these services to eligible residents. Boulder County exceeds minimum state requirements by offering expanded hours, multilingual support, and online access. In 2024, the county received a state award for excellence in service delivery.<\/p>\n<h3>Resources<\/h3>\n<p>Historical context: Boulder County was established in 1861 and covers 741 square miles of diverse terrain from the Great Plains to the Continental Divide. The county&#8217;s population of approximately 330,000 residents is served by 2028 county employees across 40 departments and offices.<\/p>\n<p>Transportation access remains a key concern. Boulder County&#8217;s Via mobility program provides door-to-door transit service for residents in Lafayette and surrounding communities who cannot access fixed-route bus service. RTD routes B, J, and BOLT serve major corridors.<\/p>\n<h3>Background<\/h3>\n<p>For questions about this program, contact Amanda Foster at Human Services: (303) 441-2238 or email Human Services@bouldercounty.gov.
