Financial Documents
A budget for each special district is required to be submitted to the Division of Local Government on an annual basis. The budget must contain revenues, expenditures, and fund balances. Each budget must also contain a message of significant budget issues for the year, the basis of accounting, and any leases that the district is involved in. A draft budget must be presented to the board of directors by October 15th. A hearing is set for public comment thereafter. The budget document must then be adopted by December 31st (Dec 15th if levying property taxes) and submitted to the Division of Local Government by January 31st of the budget year. Special district budgets are available for review at the office of the special district, or at the Division of Local Government's Denver office.

A Budget Amendment (BA) is the mechanism used to revise the working budget to reflect changes that occur throughout the fiscal year. Once the working budget is completed, it can only be changed by Budget Amendment. Budget amendments are occasionally necessary, and should be filed with the Division of Local Government (DLG) when adopted by a local government.

Baseline MD - 2022 - Audit Exemption.pdfBaseline MD - 2022 - Audit Exemptions District Nos. 2-9.pdfBaseline MD - 2021 - Audit Exemption.pdfTo fund the important projects and services, a portion of your property taxes are allocated to the Metro Districts. Of the 164.729 mills assessed to your property, the Metro Districts receive 50.264 mills. The rest of your property taxes are allocated to other public entities such as the school district, City and County of Broomfield and others.
Sample Calculation:
$500,000 Actual Value X 7.15% assessment rate = $35,750. $35,750 assessed value/divided by 1,000 (mill levy applies to every $1,000 of value) x 50.264 = $1,796.94 paid in annual property taxes to the District. The overall payment for all taxing authorities would be $5,889.06 yearly.
