Sunset Metropolitan District

An active Colorado metropolitan district on the state's district registry. Our plat matching places it in Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Denver, Douglas, El Paso, Elbert, Jefferson, Larimer, Mesa, Montezuma, Morgan, Ouray, Pitkin, Routt, San Miguel, Summit, Weld 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.

What it levies

El Paso County certified this district's mill levy for tax year 2025. 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.

  • Sunset Metropolitan District 0.000 mills

A certified levy of 0.000 is a real filing: the district exists and certified that it is collecting nothing this year. Many districts levy nothing until they issue bonds or take over services — its service plan says what it is authorized to levy later.

Years before 2024 come from El Paso 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.

Financial filings at the State Auditor

Every Colorado local government files annual financial statements with the Office of the State Auditor — audited statements, or an audit-exemption application for small budgets. This is where the authoritative outstanding-debt figures live. Each link below is the district's own filings page, year by year, with the PDFs:

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.
