RETT collections up in November, down for the year<\/p>\n

The city of Aspen’s real estate transfer tax collections in November showed an 11 percent spike over November 2017.<\/p>\n

That’s according to the city Finance Department’s latest consumption tax report, which was released Dec. 6.<\/p>\n

November was just the fourth month of the year to post gains over 2017, a year in which all of Pitkin County topped $1.9 billion<\/a> in property transactions.<\/p>\n

The city collected $590,210 in RETT taxes supporting its affordable-housing coffers, topping the $531,365 it claimed in November 2017. The Wheeler Opera Housing portion of the RETT accounted for $311,183 in collections, besting the $275,769 the city made in November 2017.<\/p>\n

From January through November, the city’s RETT collections for the affordable-housing portion of the fund stood at $7.9 million, 15 percent lower than the $9.9 million the city hauled in during the same period last year, according to the report.<\/p>\n
