Northglenn City Council Meeting - July 6th, 2026
Published: Jul 6, 2026
Voters to Consider Accommodations Tax Increase from 5% to 8%
The council considered a ballot question for voters to approve an increase in the accommodations tax rate from 5% to 8%. This tax, unchanged since 1982, applies to short-term rentals and hotels for stays under 30 days. The proposed increase aims to make the city more competitive with other jurisdictions and generate additional revenue. The cost to place the question on the November ballot is estimated at $20,000. Council members expressed general support for putting the measure to a vote, viewing it as a more transparent way to raise revenue compared to other potential tax increases.
City Council Explores ADU Regulations and Small-Scale Density Options
The city council discussed potential amendments to accessory dwelling unit (ADU) regulations and small-scale density options. Key topics included allowing container homes (ConX boxes) for ADUs, encouraging factory-built ADUs, implementing pre-approved ADU plans, and allowing duplexes as a use by right in certain single-family zones. Council members expressed mixed views, with concerns raised about infrastructure capacity, cost, aesthetic standards, and potential impacts on housing affordability. No definitive decisions were made, but staff was directed to explore certain options further, including identifying barriers to factory-built ADUs and analyzing regulations for pre-manufactured structures. The potential for duplexes received more support, though concerns about infrastructure and community impact remain.
City Council Considers Eliminating 1% Vendor Fee for Increased Revenue
The city council considered eliminating the 1% vendor fee, which is an administrative rebate of sales tax provided to vendors who submit their returns and taxes before the due date. Staff recommended elimination, citing that advancements in technology have simplified the process, making the incentive less necessary. Eliminating the fee is projected to generate approximately $300,000 in additional annual revenue for the city. Council members questioned the potential impact on businesses and if neighboring cities still offer such rebates. The general sentiment was supportive of exploring the elimination.
