Box 1190 Fort Collins, CO 80522-1190 (970) 498-5935 Fax (970) 498-5942 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 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. Sincerely, Tracy Hines Sales Tax Administrator Finance Department FINANCIAL SERVICES DIVISION Sales Tax Administration 200 Oak Street, Suite 4000 P.O.

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 subcontractor 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.
