What is inside the Colorado Move Kit

Each cost comes with where to check it: the state’s property tax map, the county assessor and treasurer, your insurance carrier and your inspector.

A sample: the metro district line on the tax bill

What it is: a local government that paid for the streets, water, sewer and parks in a newer area and repays the debt through a property tax levy.
Not the HOA: a home can carry both an HOA due and a metro district levy.
The rough math for 2026: every 10 mills on a $600,000 home is about $370 a year, at the 6.8 percent local-government assessment rate.
Where to check: the Colorado Property Tax Map, then the county assessor and treasurer.

That is one section of nine. The full kit has the hail deductible math, the 30- and 90-day new-resident clock and the address checklist.

How long do I have to get a Colorado driver's license and register my car?

Thirty days for the driver's license and 90 days to register your vehicles, counted from when you become a Colorado resident: a job here, a business here, or 90 days living here, whichever comes first.
