FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Colorado Legislature and Governor Polis recently enacted changes to laws to accommodate property tax relief, which will delay Colorado counties certifying their tax roll. The new tax roll deadline is January 24, 2024, which is two weeks later than previous years.
This extra time will allow taxing authorities sufficient time to certify their mill levies
and county assessors more time to compile newly required data.
The USFS will be conducting a controlled burn at the intersection of Hwy 119 and Hwy 46 starting today, December 11, 2023 at 10:00 am and continuing for 7 days until December 18, 2023.
To All Gilpin County Residents:
This past October, Gilpin County Public Health offered free COVID-19 tests to community members to help prevent the spread of COVID in the county.
It has just come to our attention that these tests were unfortunately shipped to us containing low buffer fluid levels, and therefore are defective.
The County understands the need for childcare in our rural, mountain area, and would like your help in finding solutions. Please send an email to Lyndsey Denton at Ldenton@gilpincounty.org, if you are interested in serving on a childcare steering committee by December 22nd, 2023.
Gilpin County Offices will be closed on Thursday, November 23, and Friday, November 24, 2023, in observance of the Thanksgiving Holiday.
