Homeowners who aren’t seniors or active military can apply under different criteria — they’re eligible if their property taxes increased above what the program calls a “growth cap.” Given the headline-grabbing spikes in property values — as calculated for tax purposes — last year in the Front Range and other parts of the state, many homeowners will likely qualify for the program because of how much their home’s property tax bill has increased.

Jared Polis wants lawmakers to come up with a plan to avert next year’s sharp property tax increases, but they only have a few weeks to figure it out.

The legislative session, which Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced Thursday, follows a resounding defeat for a ballot measure in Tuesday's election that attempted to address the problem over the next decade.

Much of that increase was due to a hot housing market. But homeowners in rural, mountain regions have more reason than most to question their property valuations.
