Colorado Code
Part 1 - Real and Personal Property
§ 39-5-121. Notice of Valuation - Legislative Declaration - Repeal

(1.2) A notice of valuation included with the tax bill shall fulfill the requirements of subsection (1) of this section. The general assembly hereby finds and declares that the notice procedure set forth in this subsection (1.2) facilitates the efficient and economic operation of local governments, consistent with the expressed purpose of section 20 of article X of the state constitution to reasonably restrain most the growth of government, and still fulfills the purposes of section 20 (8)(c) of said article X in the intervening year of each reassessment cycle when there is no change in value for the property in such year.

(1.7) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a taxpayer may request to receive by electronic transmission the notices of valuation required by subsections (1) and (1.5) of this section. The taxpayer shall submit along with the request an electronic address to which the assessor may send future notices of valuation. The assessor, upon receipt of such request by a taxpayer to receive notices of valuation electronically, may send all future notices of valuation by electronic transmission to the electronic address supplied by the taxpayer; except that, if a taxpayer subsequently requests to cease the electronic transmission of such notices and requests to receive future notices of valuation by mail, the assessor shall comply with the request. Failure of a taxpayer to receive the electronic notice of valuation shall not preclude collection by the treasurer of the amount of taxes due from and payable by the taxpayer.
