November 2025 Election FAQs

1.  Who is eligible to vote on the mill levy?

Eligible electors will receive ballots. It is independent of tap-holding status:

• An eligible elector for a special district election is a person who 1) is registered to vote in the State of Colorado and 2) is either:
  • A resident within the district boundaries or area to be included within the district boundaries on Election Day; or
  • The owner (or the spouse or civil union partner of the owner) of taxable real or personal property situated within the district boundaries.
    C.R.S. §§32-1-103(5)(a) and (b)
• People who own real property that is included in the district but are not served will receive ballots.
• People who are registered to vote at a property that is included in the district (whether they own the property or not) will receive ballots.
• Someone who lives at or owns a property that is served by the District but is not included will not receive a ballot.

2.  Are all tap holders eligible?

Taps are considered personal property, but they are not “taxable personal property” under the pertinent statutes and ownership of one does not make the holder eligible to vote. Those who own a tap but do not own real property in the District are not eligible to vote.

3.  Will everybody be impacted by the results of the election?

This ballot issue will only affect property taxes, so only people who own property that is included in the District will see a change in taxes.

The election is coordinated with Jefferson County, and there are other jurisdictions holding elections. Therefore, it is likely that every voter in Jefferson County will receive a ballot; however, only Lookout Mountain Water District eligible electors will receive ballots containing the LMWD ballot issue.
