While it would have provided some property tax relief, it also would have increased the state spending limit by keeping some of the revenue surplus normally refunded under the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights. Proposition HH results: Colorado voters reject property tax measure | Election 2023 Property owners would have had some immediate property tax relief with reduced rates, but an analysis by the Common Sense Institute found that, eventually, TABOR refunds would be reduced more than the reduction of property taxes.After Prop HH's failure, Gov.
