Each shape is a 2020 census tract. Lines show counties. Tracts with no residents use the density of the tracts around them.
The formula
How the fee works
bill = square feet of land you own × 0.0000107 × (people per square mile)1.4
Two numbers set every bill in Colorado. Change either one and every landowner's bill moves together.
Set once a decade.
Density comes from the ten-year Census, so every owner can plan ahead.
No ground left out.
A tract with no residents, such as Denver International Airport, uses the density of the tracts around it.
Empty lots get built.
Two 1.2-acre lots two blocks apart pay the same. One holds 350 homes, $1,679 each. The other is a parking lot.
