Senior Citizen Tax Offset Program

The purpose of the Senior Citizen Tax Offset Program is to increase community involvement with the Cherry Creek School District, as well as to enable senior citizens to partially offset a portion of their property taxes paid to CCSD. Senior citizens can offset their taxes by volunteering in Cherry Creek Schools. Senior citizens may earn up to $576.80 based on 40 maximum allowed paid volunteer hours once every twelve months, and one payment per property. These hours may be worked any time between the beginning and end of the school year.

Participants must be at least 60 years of age and be a homeowner who resides in their property within the Cherry Creek School District. Those interested in participating in the program must complete an application and submit a copy of their most recent Arapahoe County property tax notice. The program is not open to any current employees of the Cherry Creek School District.
