The District may assess a maximum mill levy of 50 mills, subject to adjustment for legislative changes in the ratio of actual valuation to assessed valuation after September 9, 2024, to repay such debt.
The District must file an Annual Report with the Division of Local Government, the State Auditor, and the City and County of Denver Clerk & Recorder.
