Mesa County Commissioner Cody Davis has been appointed to the Commission on Property Tax.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis appointed Davis to the commission to serve as a county commissioner from the western region.

The commission was created to study and recommend a property tax structure that protects property owners and residential tenants from rising property taxes while also meeting the needs of governments that rely on property tax revenues to provide services.

“Taxation in Colorado has turned into a quagmire of different rules and exceptions,” Davis said. “It makes it unpredictable for taxpayers and unsustainable for local governments. We can do better. I look forward to serving the people of Western Colorado on this task force, and I’m grateful for the governor’s trust in me.”
