Fort Collins REALTOR® Sean Dougherty Appointed to Commission on Property Taxation

Colorado’s newly established Commission on Property Taxation is set to begin work this month on a solution to rising property tax bills in Colorado. Fort Collins REALTOR® Sean Dougherty, a longtime REALTOR® leader and former Larimer County commissioner who also serves on the Legislative Policy Committee for the Colorado Association of REALTORS®, has been appointed to serve. Dougherty was appointed by House Minority Leader Mike Lynch and will offer his real estate expertise to the 19-member commission. Formed in response to the defeat of Proposition HH and the subsequent special legislative session, the commission’s goal is to find sustainable solutions to the escalating property taxes, a situation intensified by the 2020 repeal of the Gallagher Amendment, leading to significantly higher property tax bills.

This diverse commission, tasked with finding a balance between necessary funding for local governments and schools and the increasing tax burden on homeowners, plans to meet bi-monthly until March. Their aim is to develop recommendations for the governor and Legislature, potentially shaping Colorado’s property tax policy for the foreseeable future.
