Glenwood Springs, and the areas covered by the Glenwood Springs Rural Fire Protection District, is asking voters to reauthorize the existing mill levy rate for the fire department in Ballot Issue 7A. A home with a real value of $500,000 — slightly above the median value — would pay $216 in property taxes a year, or $18 per month, if the levies pass. Business owners with $1 million worth of real property value would pay $1,740 in property taxes each year. In Carbondale, Ballot Issue 7B asks voters for a 2.81 increase to the mill levy, which would bring the rate to 10.46 for the Carbondale and Rural Fire Protection District. For a $500,000 home, the increase would be $101.16 per year and bring the total property tax for the fire department to $376.56 per year.
