📣 Colorado Seniors: Don’t Miss This Property Tax Reduction for 2026

If you’re a Colorado senior who previously received the Senior Property Tax Exemption and moved between Jan 1, 2020 and Dec 31, 2025, you may still qualify for property tax relief on your new primary home.

✅ What’s the benefit?
50% of the first $200,000 of your home’s value will not be taxed (with limited exceptions).

🏡 Applies to owner-occupied primary residences (single-family homes, condos, townhomes, duplexes, etc.).

đź“… Deadline to apply: March 15
(Late applications accepted until July 15, but you lose appeal rights.)

đź’ˇ There are no income limits, and surviving spouses may qualify under certain conditions.

Applications must be submitted to your county assessor. The reduction will show up on your tax bill the following year.

This program is separate from income tax credits or rebates through the Department of Revenue.

If you or a senior you know recently moved, this is worth checking into. A lot of people don’t realize they can keep this benefit after relocating.

IRS Moves Toward All-Electronic Refunds: What You Need to Know

Your tax refund will no longer arrive by paper check. The IRS recently announced that it will stop issuing refund checks, with limited exceptions, and will require taxpayers to receive refunds electronically.
Why the Change?

Paper checks cost more, create security risks, and take much longer to process. In addition, the Trump administration directed all federal agencies to eliminate paper check payments.

What Stays the Same?

The IRS has not changed the process for filing your tax return. You will continue to file exactly as you do now.

How to Receive Your Refund

The fastest and most reliable way to receive your refund is through direct deposit into your bank account. Ninety-three percent of taxpayers already use direct deposit, and this change will not affect them.

If you currently receive refund checks, switch to direct deposit when you file your 2025 return. Simply enter your bank’s routing and account numbers on your tax form.

If you prefer not to use direct deposit, you can choose certain mobile apps or prepaid debit cards that provide a routing and account number.

The IRS will still issue a paper check if you request a waiver because you lack access to banking services or electronic payment systems. Keep in mind that paper checks take at least six weeks to process, while electronic refunds typically take about 21 days.


If You Need a Bank Account

You can open an account online through several resources:

The FDIC’s GetBanked website

The National Credit Union Administration’s Credit Union Locator

The Veterans Benefits Banking Program (for veterans only)
