Dear Contractor:
At the time you apply for a building permit, you are required to pay a use tax deposit. The tax deposit is
determined assuming that 50% of the valuation will be comprised of construction materials. That amount is then
multiplied by the County tax rate of .8% to calculate the deposit. The tax you pay when the permit is issued is
merely a deposit.
Since the tax deposit is based on a material/labor ratio, it is important that actual costs be monitored and
compared with the tax deposit. At the end of your project, a Project Cost Report (PCR) must be completed to
compare the deposit to the tax due based on actual material costs. The outcome of the PCR may be that
additional taxes may be due, or a refund could be issued.
To calculate the actual material costs, all material invoices are added to the materials from the subcontractors’
invoices. It is preferred that actual material costs from the subcontractor be used when known, if not, fifty
percent (50%) of the subcontractor’s invoice will be used if a breakdown of materials and labor can not be
provided. If labor cost account for more than fifty percent (50%) of the subcontractor’s invoice, please provide a
copy of the invoice or a subcontractor affidavit for back-up documentation. If claiming additional sales tax paid,
a copy of the receipt must be provided.
Please note: Larimer County sales tax is not due on the purchase of construction and building materials at the
time of sale IF the purchaser presents a building permit showing that the County use tax has already been paid.
For your convenience, a PCR is attached to your building permit. When submitting the completed PCR, a copy
of the building permit, a final cost summary, copies of subcontractors’ invoices, copies of material receipts, and
any other back-up documentation to help support your claim should be included. The completed packet with
applicable payment is due within 60 days from the issuance of the Certificate of Occupancy, Letter of
Completion, finalization of project or at the expiration of the building permit. All PCRs submitted after the 60
days are subject to penalty and interest.
There is a possibility that the sales and use tax rate will change during the construction of your project. To
ensure we use the correct sales/use tax rates, dates of the purchases must be provided. The easiest way this can
be done is to provide copies of all your receipts. Or you can have the purchases individually listed out on your
job cost worksheet. If dates of the purchases are not documented, the sales and use tax rate when the building
permit was issued will be used to determine the taxability of the material used in your project.
If the building permit expires, a project cost report must be submitted on the work that was completed.
If you have any questions concerning project cost reporting requirements or need additional forms, please
contact the Finance and Sales Tax Office at (970) 498-5930. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Tracy Hines

- Enter the building permit number(s).
- Enter contractor information and project location.
Sign Off Section (top box)
To sign off on the Project Cost Report, the following criteria must be met:
•The completed project is valued under $400,000
•Cost of the building material used in the project is essentially the same as the estimated costs
•No refund is due
•Knowledge that an audit may be requested by Larimer County up to three years after the
completion of the project
If the owner/contractor agrees to all four criteria, the project cost report may be signed, dated, and returned to
the Larimer County Finance Division. No additional documentation is required.
Calculation Section (bottom box)
Line 1 – Enter taxes paid, include the total Larimer County sales/use tax paid on the building permit(s) and
any additional County tax paid on construction or building materials. Please include copies of both the
building permit and any invoices or other forms of proof of sales or use tax payment.
Credit for additional County sales tax will only be given if copies of receipts are provided.
Line 2 – Enter actual material costs from the job cost summary and multiply by 0.8% to calculate the use tax
that should have been paid.
To determine actual material costs, take 100% of materials purchased for the project and 50% of sub-
contractor invoices if a breakdown of materials and labor can not be provided. (It is preferred that actual
materials costs from the subcontractor are used if known. If labor accounts for more that 50% of the
subcontractor’s invoice, provide a copy of the invoice or a subcontractor affidavit for back-up
documentation.) Additionally, if items such as driveways, sidewalks, parking lots and landscaping are
included in the project contract, the material costs should also be included in your actual material cost.
Line 3 – If Line 2 is greater that Line 1, additional tax is due to Larimer County. Please submit a check for
the difference to Larimer County at the above address.
Line 4 – If Line 1 is greater than Line 2, an overpayment of tax was made to Larimer County. When
approved, a check will be issued by Larimer County.
