Broomfield's Partial Property Tax Refund gives back part of the rise in property taxes since 2021, up to $1,000 a year. It is for Broomfield homeowners who live in the home as their main home, paid both their 2021 and 2025 property taxes, and have household income at or below 80% of area median income. You must also be in one of these groups: age 65 or older by July 1, 2026; a veteran with at least an 80% disability; a resident with a 100% disability; or the surviving spouse of one of these. Households at or below 60% of area median income get the full rise in taxes back, up to $1,000. Households between 61% and 80% get back the city, county and school district share of the rise. If your taxes did not go up since 2021, there is no refund. Apply online; for help call 303-438-6350 or email propertytaxrefund@broomfield.org.
