Castle Pines North Citizens for Tax Relief Goals

• To provide the citizens of Castle Pines North with factual information on what must be accomplished for the continued success of our community

• To correct misinformation disseminated from those that support disincorporation of the city

• To provide the facts as to how residents/businesses can realize costs savings/tax relief with the integration of Castle Pines North Metro District (CPNMD) into the City and with consolidation of some HOA services (key components of incorporation)

• To assist all efforts that result in increased, verifiable opportunities to secure affordable renewable water

Castle Pines North Incorporation

With 74% of the vote, CPN residents clearly voiced their support of incorporation. One of the key components of incorporation was the integration of CPNMD into the City of Castle Pines North. To date, CPNMD has fought against integration. Even without the integration, the city is still strong.

City of Castle Pines North Tax Relief Opportunity

In the current challenging economic environment, without the integration of CPNMD, the city is still thriving, attracting new development and not increasing property taxes. However, CPNMD customers are paying one of the highest metro/service tax rates (mill levy) in Douglas County. The CPNMD 43.0 mill levy is well over the Douglas County average tax rate/mill levy of 19.9663. What this means to you is that as a CPNMD customer, 80% of Douglas county residents are paying lower metro district taxes than you.

With CPNMD integration into the City of Castle Pines North:

• Residents could save over $550 annually with a decreased tax rate/mill levy

• Residents could see a decrease in non-voter approved fees (i.e. storm water fee, capital improvement fee)

• Residents could gain the opportunity for expanded amenities

• Businesses could save $455 (per $100,000 business assessed value) annually in taxes
