Senior Deferral Information

Senior Deferral Information

The Treasurer’s Office is no longer processing applications for tax deferrals. The State Treasurer has taken over the program. You can find more information at the state’s new tax deferral website.

What is the senior tax deferral program?

The senior tax deferral program is offered by the State of Colorado. It allows you to postpone tax payments on your primary residence until you sell your property, or your estate is settled after your death. Interest is applied to the amount you defer. Each year, you can defer either the whole amount of your taxes, or half your taxes.

In the past, this program was managed jointly between the County and State Treasurer’s Offices. Beginning in 2023, the State Treasurer will run all aspects of the program, including the deferral application process.

You can find information and sign up for the program at the Colorado property tax deferral program website.
