Colorado Mills
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 Colorado Mills, The Promenade at Denver West, and The Shoppes at Denver West is 1.4% on all sales and service transactions. 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.
Licensing
Any entity doing business in Lakewood must obtain a Sales and Use Tax License. This includes businesses conducting retail sales and those providing services only. PIF accounts will need to be established via Amenity Colorado at the this website.
Confidentiality
All financial information provided to the City of Lakewood is kept confidential. However, Elk Valley Public Improvement Corporation is authorized to obtain financial information from the City as described in Tenant Leases and Real Estate Agreements. Therefore, every tenant that is subject to the PIF collection obligation is required to sign a Form of Waiver of Confidentiality.
