Quality of Life Tax

Serving the Greeley Community

The Quality of Life tax was first approved by voters in 2002 and renewed for another 20 years in 2019. The tax opens access to amenities across the community.

This tax supports vital projects and investments in recreational and cultural facilities and programs, in addition to enhancing transportation. Contributions help improve city facilities and create spaces for everyone to enjoy.

Past projects supported by the tax have included Greeley’s Youth Sports Complex, numerous recreation facilities, parks and playground facilities and more.
