DENVER ~ On Sunday, Governor Jared Polis declared a disaster in southwestern Colorado due to the recent flooding. In response, the Colorado Department of Revenue has announced that they will be offering assistance to individuals and businesses affected by the floods.

According to Governor Polis, "We are supporting the Coloradans who have been impacted by these devastating floods every way we can, and that includes extending our state's tax deadlines. I continue monitoring the situation very closely, and our emergency and public safety resources are actively engaged in response and recovery efforts."

To provide relief for those affected by the floods, the Department of Revenue has extended the deadlines for certain state tax filings until December 31. This includes income tax extensions due on October 15 and sales taxes due on October 20. Taxpayers can also request penalty waivers for other taxes and fees due in October, such as marijuana, fuel, and retailer delivery fees.

Taxpayers who have been impacted by the floods will have until December 31, 2025 to file these taxes. However, this relief only applies to state taxes and does not include cities or counties that collect their own taxes.

To request an extended deadline after receiving a bill, eligible taxpayers must call the Department of Revenue at 303-238-SERV (7378) during their business hours of Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Department emphasizes that this tax deadline waiver will not be automatically applied and must be requested by eligible taxpayers. They urge those affected by the floods to reach out for assistance as soon as possible.
