FAQs
How do Metropolitan districts work in Colorado?
Metropolitan districts, or “metro districts”, are an established unit of government with local and state regulatory oversight. Metro districts are the financing tool that allows public infrastructure and amenities like roads, sewer, trails, and parks to be built in new communities.
Metro districts have the authority to issue tax-exempt bonds to finance infrastructure construction and impose property taxes as a mechanism to repay the bonds. The Colorado Department of Local Affairs is the agency that regulates metro district activities.
Metro Districts, such as ours, collect monthly fees to cover the cost of provided services.
Is DW1 an HOA?
No. We are a Special District political subdivision of the State of Colorado. The District collects fees for water, sewer, wastewater services and maintenance of roads and open space. It does not collect dues. As it is not an HOA, the District does not provide typical HOA functions such as enforcing covenants; managing disputes between neighbors; managing residential mailboxes or keys; handling dog complaints; providing residential fire mitigation or trash/yard waste removal.
