Colorado property taxes

Varies

Are Property Taxes Deductible in Colorado?

Short answer: Yes on your federal return if you itemize, within the $40,400 SALT cap. Colorado adds its own break: PTC Rebate up to $1,178 (2025) for property tax, rent, or heat; 65+ or surviving spouse 58+, income under $19,094 single.

Homestead: senior homestead exemption: 50% of the first $200,000 of value for 65+ owners living there 10+ years, and disabled veterans. Starting with 2025, people with disabilities claim the new Disability Assistance Credit instead of the PTC rebate.

Records to keep: Keep receipts, statements, and a note of what each cost was for. Compare itemizing to the 2026 standard deduction ($16,100 single / $32,200 joint) before you claim.
