We Live In Tallyns Reach

The Tallyn’s Reach Metropolitan District is a governmental entity that has the power to impose property taxes and other monetary charges.  An elected board of directors made up of Tallyn's Reach property owners provides the overall management for the metro districts.

Tallyn's Reach contains 3 metropolitan district.  The districts are responsible for the following:

• Constructing the major public utilities and roads within our community
• Manage the operations and maintenance of all common areas such as landscaping and parks
• Manage the community clubhouse, pool, tennis courts, and playground areas

The following tax levy example is for a homeowner living in one of the Tallyn's Reach Metro Districts:  

For someone with a $350,000 home, this equates to a roughly $1300 yearly tax bill to finance the community infrastructure.   

Most new developments appear to fall within a Metropolitan District. This forces them to pay for major public utilities and roads that would not be built.  Instead of raising property taxes, this seems to be the "end around" which winds up under a property owner's tax bill.

In addition to the metro district tax bill, we also pay for the other services provided by the district.  The current Metro District dues are currently set at $XXXper quarter.

Randall Schornack  - Why no police protection   |2008-08-10 04:12:55 Meritage Homes, Tallyn's Reach and Carma failed to disclose that police protection is so poor, 1 patrolman covers 40 square miles and Security alarms go unanswered. Why did Carma and Tallyn's reach fall under City of Aurora. Since Aurora refuses to protect the homeowners of Tallyn's Reach. What are our taxes and Metropolitan District fees going towards. Tallyn's Reach has no boundary in contact with the City of Aurora. The only benefit either party has is the City of Aurora taking our tax dollar. Carma and the homeowners of Tallyn's reach need to join another city - Centenniel, Foxfire or form our own muncipipality. How much did Carma pay Aurora for city services we are not receiving?

John  - Taxation without representation   |2008-12-02 00:28:51 The metro district sent me a $120 a year increase for services. When did they come to the affected residents for approval. The Metro district represents taxation without representation.

carlton loomis  - homeowner   |2009-12-29 01:24:39 Since I learned that we have been illegally charged property tax for the Parker Fire district,Arapahoe library and Arapahoe recreation we have been successfulin winning at least part of one battle. There are 86 lots that have been paying these taxes for several years since this area was annexed into Aurora. Carma and the city of Aurora should have made sure they were excluded back then but it was apparently overlooked. The Douglas county court just ruled that the Parker fire tax was illegal and must be stopped, however it looks like this won't go into effect until next year. My tax is about 450 per year. It is doubtful we will be refunded voluntarily but we are working on that. They tell we are basically screwed on the rec and library tax but havn't given up yet.
