Some December Renewal Fees Miscalculated by the Department of Revenue
Adams County recently learned that the Colorado Department of Revenue made an error in calculating renewal fees for drivers whose license plates were due to be renewed in December 2018 and whose vehicles are a model year of 2010, 2015, 2016, 2017, or 2018.
Our partners at the state level are working on a solution to this issue, and we will continue to release that information once it’s available.
At this time, drivers affected do not need to take any action; they will be contacted once the solution is in place.

Governor Declares Disaster Emergency Due to Propane Supply Shortage in Colorado

These customers may not be able to receive enough propane to heat their homes in the near future. Hickenlooper issued a verbal executive order just after 11 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 24, due to propane production issues, anticipated severe weather conditions, and an ongoing propane supply shortage.
