Applications open for Pitkin County’s Low-Income Property Tax Relief Program

Pitkin County is now accepting applications for the Low-Income Property Tax Relief Program, which was designed in collaboration with Aspen Valley Hospital with the aim of alleviating the financial burden on homeowners as property values rise.

In order to be eligible, applicants must own a free-market, non-deed-restricted home, have an income less than 500% of the Federal Poverty Level, and have experienced increased property taxes from 2023 to 2025, according to a press release. The program offers a minimum rebate of $50 and a maximum of $2,000, which is calculated on a sliding scale based on income.

This program is different from the Senior Tax Relief Program, but individuals who applied to the Senior Tax Relief Program in 2025 automatically applied for this new relief initiative.

Those interested can submit an application online by going to pitkincounty.com/1611/Property-Tax-Relief-Program. A hard copy of the application is also available at the Schultz Human & Health Services building, 0405 Castle Creek Road, Suite 207, and Pitkin County Administration Building at 530 E. Main Street.

Those who need further assistance can call the helpline number at 970-319-2150 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday through Friday.
