Yep.

I bet more business have been put under due to changes in sales tax rates than landlords in CO in recent years, by far. And it is moral if landlords do it vs. town govts. A town council, BOCC or group of planners can shut down business over night and have....and they still need to pay their rent to that landlord.

Sorry, I am wasting my time, I know we hate the free market around here, because someone might loose in the competition, so to make everything fair, we regulate so that everyone looses. CO is a tough state to do business, more challenges than many others I have had businesses in. Harder than MA by far, I will repeat, way harder to do small business in CO than Massachusetts, more paperwork in CO too and CO DOR never answers the phone. I think CO is trying to focus on large businesses vs. small ones as public policy, but I guess all govts are, CO just does not hide it well.

Which "sales tax rates" would that be? Jefferson County : 4.600% Oh, no?!?!? A whole 4.6%? Hmmmm....How does that compare to the rest of the counties? Colorado State is 2.9% So, that means we're paying about 7.5% combined total? (Unless, of course, you shop over at the King's Sooper area, where they tack on a bit more for their "improvements"...)

Golly the "tax burden" is so outrageous... Perhaps you should leave and go to another state where they tend to screw their citizens more, and tax less.

Dam I am agreeing with LJ.

Even if they don't jack up the rents, many businesses up here won't make it because of the economy. Even with reduced rates at the Conifer Town Center.
