Cafarelli Center at Denver West

General Information
The Public Improvement Fee (PIF) is collected and used to finance a portion of the cost of public improvements, such as public roads, regional storm management, and sanitary sewer systems. The PIF at the Cafarelli Center at Denver West varies by retailer. The 1.4% or 0.4% PIF is applicable on all sales and service transactions. Please contact the Colorado Development Foundation or the City to determine which rate applies to your business. A list of all exempt sales transactions is on page two. The PIF is a fee and NOT a tax; therefore, it becomes part of the overall cost of the sale and is subject to sales tax.
