Deer Creek Metropolitan Districts

2 numbered metropolitan districts operate under the Deer Creek name — a common structure where one development is financed and governed through a series of districts. Our plat matching places them in El Paso, Elbert, Gunnison, Jefferson, Park, Routt County. A metro district is not an HOA: it's a local government with taxing power, and a property can sit inside both.

What this means if you own or are buying here

Metropolitan districts are special districts formed under Colorado law to finance and maintain a development's public infrastructure — streets, water and sewer lines, parks, drainage. Unlike an association, a district is a unit of local government: it is governed by an elected board, holds public meetings, issues bonds, and levies a mill levy on your property tax bill rather than dues it invoices you for.

Practical consequences worth knowing before a closing:

  • It shows up on the tax bill, not in dues. The district's mill levy is collected with your property taxes, so it can be easy to miss when budgeting for a home.
  • The debt outlives the builder. Districts commonly issue bonds to build infrastructure up front and repay them from that levy over decades.
  • You can be in a district AND an HOA. They are separate bodies with separate rules, separate money, and separate contacts — being in one tells you nothing about the other.
  • The board is elected and the meetings are public. As a property owner inside the district you can attend, run, and vote.

This page is a public-records summary, not legal or tax advice. For the district's own budget, levy, and meeting notices, use its website below or the state's guide for residents and prospective homeowners.

Mailing addresses are frequently the district's management or law firm rather than an office in the neighborhood. Phone numbers are not in the state registry — each one above is the number that district publishes on its own website, collected 2026-08-07 and shown with that site linked beside it.

What it levies

Districts in this name group sit in different counties — each is its own government, certified by its own county assessor for tax year 2025, named beside each figure below. A mill is one dollar per $1,000 of assessed value — not market value — and it is collected with your property taxes rather than billed as dues.

  • Deer Creek Metropolitan District 35.000 mills · Park
  • Deer Creek Metropolitan District 10.661 mills · Jefferson

Levies here range from 10.661 to 35.000 mills depending on which district covers the property. These do not add up — a parcel sits inside one of them, not all of them. Your tax notice names the one that applies to you.

2-year history, Deer Creek Metropolitan District (the highest here — certified in Park):

2024 2025 35.000
  • 202435.000
  • 202535.000

Source: each county's annual certification, compiled statewide by the Division of Property Taxation and published on the state's open geodata service, collected 2026-08-08. Years before 2024 come from Jefferson County certified mill levies, collected 2026-08-08. Certified annually under C.R.S. §39-1-111. We report the levy as certified and don't calculate anyone's bill — that depends on your property's assessed value and the assessment rate in force, both of which change. Your county assessor or treasurer can give you a figure for your address.

Watch this district. Levies are re-certified every December. Leave an email and we'll send one plain message a year — only if a levy here changes, with the old number, the new one, and the bond share. No newsletter, nothing else.

The records this district publishes

Colorado special districts are required to make their governance and finances public. These are the pages these districts publish on their own sites — we link them, we don't reproduce them, so what you open is always the district's current version:

Found by reading each district's own navigation, not by guessing addresses. Districts that publish nothing findable are simply absent here rather than shown with dead links. For the mill levy specifically, see "What it levies" above — reported from the certifications themselves; we never lift financial figures from a district's own budget PDFs.

Associations in the same neighborhoods

These registered homeowners associations cover ground that overlaps this district — properties here may answer to both:

Buying or selling in this district

A metro district doesn't issue the status letter an HOA must furnish at closing — but if an association also covers the property, that 14-day statutory clock still applies to it. Not sure which bodies govern a specific address? Run the address — the lookup reports both associations and districts from county plat records.
