2024 Land Use and Housing Legislation
The Community Development Office at the Department of Local Affairs’ Division of Local Governments has been tasked with implementing a number of bills passed by the Colorado General Assembly in the 2024 legislative session and is working to provide guidance and assistance for local governments on complying with them.
Ensuring resilient futures for Colorado communities will take unprecedented strategic, coordinated action. The Division of Local Government is singularly focused on coordinating the state’s programs to leverage federal, non-profit, and philanthropic resources, removing unnecessary regulatory hurdles to funding, and offering one-stop-shop direction to available resources for local governments and their business communities, non-profit partners, and residents.
