County Rebates

The State of Colorado allows local taxing units to provide incentive rebates to new or expanding companies. These rebates are negotiated with the local county or municipality and can be as much as 50% of the amount of taxes levied by the county upon the taxable personal property directly attributable to the new business or existing business’ expansion. This rebate is allowed for a maximum of four years. For information contact Meme Martin at Douglas County, 303.660.7449. Note: For certain targeted businesses, other incentives may be available on a case-by-case basis.
