Property Tax Work Off Program FAQ’s
Q. What is different now than in previous years?
A. The PTWOP program has implemented changes and will now require participants to have their volunteer hours completed prior to the next tax year. With this change, the participant will have a voucher prior to the tax bill becoming due, rather than be reimbursed after the bill is due.
Q. What is a voucher?
A. The voucher will be a coupon valued at the number of hours volunteered at hours volunteered are paid minimum wage and are to be used to pay a portion of your taxes in January. It is only good for that specific tax year.
Q. Where and when do I turn in my timesheets?
A. You turn in your timesheets by having your host agency email Tanya [email protected] by the 5th of each month. Please complete all hours before turning in the timesheet. Please ensure both the Host agency and participant sign the timesheet before turning in.
Q. Where can I volunteer?
A. Volunteering must be completed at a non-profit on the pre-approved list. If you know of a non-profit wanting to participate as a host agency, please have them contact Tanya at [email protected]
Q. What if I don’t complete all my hours before November 30, 2025.
A. If you feel you won’t finish the program or want to drop out, please call Tanya @ 719-583-6316 and communicate this decision.
Q. Can I volunteer at more than one non-profit site?

This voucher will be used to present to the County Treasurer with the other portion of your payment and should be treated like cash. It is your responsibility to pay your taxes on time.

Additional Information
Pursuant to Colorado State General Property Tax Law, the duty of the Assessor is to “discover, list, and value” all real property. The Assessor’s Office is required to appraise all real property and to estimate the value for ad valorem taxation purposes.
Land and Improvements: Colorado statute define Improvements as “all structures, buildings, fixtures, fences, and water rights erected upon or affixed to land, whether or not title to such land has been acquired.” 39-1-102(7), C.R.S.
The Personal Property Tax: The Colorado personal property tax is a levy on personal property used in a business or organization. The procedure for applying this tax is similar to that used for real property. The Assessor estimates a value for the property and consolidates the levies; the Treasurer then mails a tax bill to the property owner.
