Where do my Metro Taxes go?
The Metro District tax funds debt service and operating funds. Approximately 21% of the metro tax funds operation while 79% funds debt service. The Metro tax is levied through Larimer County and the details can be found on your tax bill. Each resident pays a 70.665 mill levy that is split between debt service (55.664 mill Levy) and operating funds (15 mill levy)
Debt Service - $16 million of bonds issued to the District to fund the brick and mortar (streets, sewers, street lights, etc.).
General Funds - Funds the annual operation of the district (property management, landscape, water, etc.).
The financial details of these funds can be found on the Heritage Ridge Metro District documents tab.
How do I calculate my contribution to debt and operations?
Here is an example of the Larimer tax bill. As you can see 70.664 mill levy goes to the district:
In this example the 2,320.61 of tax is split as follows:
Debt Service $2,320.91/70.664x55.664 Mill Levy’s = $1,828.25
Operating Funds $2,320.91/70.664x15 Mill Levy’s= $492.66
Total Metro Tax = $2,320.91
