    Physical Address: Mailing Address: 1375 Sherman Street P.O. Box 17087 Denver, CO 80203 Denver, CO 80217-0087 December 31, 2015 The Honorable Kent Lambert Chair, Joint Budget Committee Colorado General Assembly The Honorable Lois Court Chair, House Finance Committee Colorado General Assembly The Honorable Tim Neville Chair, Senate Finance Committee Colorado General Assembly Dear Senators and Representatives: Section 39-22-522.5(12), C.R.S., requires the Department of Revenue (Department) to submit a quarterly report to the Joint Budget Committee and the Finance Committees of the General Assembly which details specific information on the conservation easement (CE) program. The legislation requires information about the number of “tax credits” and “cases” which may be difficult to reconcile with data from the State Court Administrator of the Judicial Department or from the Office of the Attorney General. It is important to note that “tax credits” and “cases” discussed in this report refer to CE donations rather than cases filed in any legal proceeding. Since the inception of the CE program in 2000, there have been 4,295 donations of conservation easements for which tax credits have been claimed. Over 26,000 income tax returns claiming CE tax credits have been filed. The Department has reviewed all of these returns and has disallowed tax credits related to 710 donations. To assist with the understanding of the activity involving these disallowed credits and to comply with statutory reporting requirements, the Department offers the following information: a) For tax years prior to 2014, CE donors are statutorily required to submit an appraisal which provides a value of the CE donated with their tax returns claiming the CE tax credits.

This report also includes voter turnout statistics and a directory of state and county elected officials. The Colorado Secretary of State’s Election Division staff compiled this information from materials submitted by Colorado’s 64 county clerk and recorders. Additional information is available at Accountability in Colorado Elections (ACE), available online at https://www.sos.state.co.us/pubs/elections/ACE/index.html. Without a doubt, the 2020 election year will be remembered as one of our state’s most unusual and most historic. After starting with the state’s first presidential primary in 20 years, we oversaw two major statewide elections amidst a global pandemic and the worst forest fires in Colorado’s history. Yet, despite those challenges, Colorado voters enthusiastically made their voices heard. We set state participation records in each of those three elections, with 3,291,661 ballots cast in the general election, the most for any election in Colorado history.
