Larimer County Wants Your Input

Larimer County faces increased risks and rising costs for services that protect and invest in our community such as:

  • Wildfire protection including mitigation, emergency response, and recovery.
  • Protecting clean drinking water sources for all of our residents.
  • Investing in areas and services exposed to higher risks, which also provide high returns, is needed now to make a difference and save public dollars in the long term.

We value your voice and would like your input to help make the best decisions for our future together.

Increased Risks & Rising Costs

County residents highly value wildfire protection, clean drinking water sources, and responsible government spending. We’re considering asking residents for added revenue through a 0.3% sales tax to invest in these services today and save money in the long term.

Natural Disaster Preparedness

Wildfire mitigation, emergency response and recovery have become some of the biggest risks for our communities, even in areas that historically were considered to be very low risk.

Funding emergency response and investing in mitigation efforts not only saves lives and property - it also saves public dollars in the long term, and reduces negative environmental and economic impacts.
