Colorado Revised Statutes Title 22. Education § 22-54-111. Adjustments in valuation for assessment

(1) For each budget year, in calculating the total amount of revenue which a district is entitled to receive from the property tax levy for the general fund of a district during the budget year, the valuation for assessment of a district shall be adjusted as provided in subsection (2) of this section.

(2) If the valuation for assessment of a district includes the value of a certain property that was formerly tax-exempt but becomes taxable as a result of a change in the applicable state law and said inclusion is challenged by administrative appeal or litigation or both and the property taxes attributable to said property are not paid pending the outcome of said challenge, the valuation for assessment attributable to said property shall be subtracted from the valuation for assessment of the school district. If said property is finally determined to have been properly included in the district's valuation for assessment, the valuation for assessment attributable to said property shall be restored to the district's valuation for assessment, and the state general fund shall be reimbursed in full by the school district after collection of taxes, plus interest at the same rate as provided by statute for penalty interest on unpaid property taxes.
