There is one day remaining for eligible Colorado residents to apply for a property tax rebate that could deliver as much as $1,000 in relief.
The Property Tax/Rent/Heat Rebate, as it is known, helps eligible older adults and residents with disabilities pay for expenses related to heating residences. The annual rebate can be as much as $1,044 per year for an eligible applicant, but those who apply this year may receive a refundable tax credit of up to $1,000, according to Colorado’s Department of Revenue.
