Tax Exemption

It has come to our attention that some Conservation Districts may be using a rather old tax exemption number that was originally issued to the Department of Agriculture/Natural Resources, Colorado State Conservation Board. Please be advised each Conservation District will need to obtain their own tax exemption ID from the Department of Revenue.

Conservation Districts are not a 501 (c ) (3) (aka non-profit) the Exemption for Government Organizations are included in the same topic.

"Exempt Certificate For Non-profit, Charitable, School, Religious or Government Organizations -- Issued by the Colorado Department of Revenue. To apply for this certificate with Colorado, use the Application for Sales Tax Exemption for Colorado Organization (DR 0715). No fee is required for this exemption certificate and it does not expire. All valid non-profit state exemption certificates start with the numbers 98 or 098. Out-of-state organizations should obtain an exemption certificate in their state of business/operation. Businesses that plan to purchase items for resale without paying sales tax should obtain a Colorado sales tax account by completing the Application for SalesTax/Wage Withholding Account (CR 0100). The sales tax license enables the business to collect sales tax when they resell the items."
