Law offers tax relief to senior citizen property owners

If successful, Garfield County stands to receive an estimated $121,931 reimbursement through the legal action. The federal government pays PILT to local governments for federal lands within their boundaries that aren’t subjected to property taxes. The amount due is determined by a statutorily defined formula. In 2008, Congress made full funding of PILT mandatory through 2014. The 2015 legislation requiring PILT payments was less direct, and the government took the position
