Description
District 50 Metropolitan Recreation District, a quasimunicipal corporation, and certain named individuals by amended complaint brought a declaratory judgment action wherein they sought a declaration and order of court that 1960 Perm. Supp., C.R.S., Section 89-12-8 is unconstitutional for the reason that the statute purports to exempt certain property lying within the recreation district from taxation for the support of the district without the written consent of the owners thereof, and that such purported exemption is in direct conflict with Article X, Section 3 of the Colorado Constitution which requires that "all taxes shall be uniform upon each of the various classes of real and personal property located within the territorial limits of the authority levying the tax. . ." Named as parties defendant were the County Assessor and some eighteen different business entities, each of which owned land situated within the recreation district and which was not being taxed for the support of the recreation district because of the exclusion proviso provided by 1960 Perm. Supp., C.R.S., Section 89-12-8.
