What are the costs to County governments?

The Colorado C-PACE Program is designed to utilize a county’s existing method for the billing and collection of property taxes.  Therefore, C-PACE expects minimal administrative costs to be incurred by participating counties. Nevertheless, the program has provided for a surcharge, of up to 1 percent of the Colorado C-PACE assessment amount billed and collected on each property tax bill, to help offset any incremental costs incurred by the county in its normal tax billing and collections process.
