Put $$'s In Your Pocket - Senior Property Tax Exemption

Do you want to put $$'s in your pocket?  It's really easy with the Colorado Senior Property Tax Discount Program.  The Colorado State Property Tax program was reinstated in 2012.  As long as the program is funded, and if you qualify, 50% of the first $200,000 in the actual value of the primary residence is exempted from property tax.  Once an exemption application is filed and approved by the assessor, the exemption remains in effect until a disqualifying event occurs.
