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 100% 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 10 years. Note: For certain targeted businesses, other incentives may be available on a case-by-case basis.
