Will changing to Home Rule make it easier for the Town to raise my taxes?

No. Any increase in taxes will still require voter approval (in accordance with TABOR laws).

By changing to Home Rule, the Town has the option to adopt different types of taxes that are not available to Statutory municipalities, such as lodging, admissions and excise taxes. However, even those tax changes would need to be approved by voters.
