Article XIV, Section 8 of the Constitution of the State of Colorado is the authority by which the Treasurer operates. Activities of the office are directed by the Legislature of the State of Colorado through the Statutes. The Treasurer is an elected official, serving a 4-year term of office.

The Treasurer does not determine the amount of tax to be collected. Property tax is determined by the mill levies * the Assessed Value of your property. The mill levies are determined by each governing entity associated with your property such as: County Commissioners, Special Districts (Example: Schools, Ambulance, Towns, Fire Stations, Water, South Park Recreation Center) that are voted in by the taxpayers.
