About the District

 

The Oak Park Metropolitan District (“District”) is a quasi-municipal corporation and political subdivision of the State of Colorado organized and operating pursuant to Article 1 of Title 32 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. A metro district is a type of special district that provides at least two different types of services. Metro districts finance the public infrastructure necessary for residential as well as commercial and mixed-use developments. 

 

The District was formed in 2003 to finance the construction, installation, and operation of public

improvements, including water, parks and recreation, sanitary sewer, streets, safety protection, and storm drainage for the Oak Park development. The District is located entirely within the boundaries of Arapahoe County, Colorado. The District is not a homeowners’ association.

 

The District is authorized to impose taxes and/or fees to pay for debt service and ongoing maintenance. The District’s Service Plan limits the total amount of debt to $5,000,000. The District has a maximum aggregate Mill Levy of 35 mills, subject to adjustment, for debt service and operations and maintenance.

 

The District is served by a five-member Board of Directors, who are elected at large to four-year staggered terms.  Regular Director Elections are held in May of odd-numbered years.  Eligible electors may submit a Self-Nomination and Acceptance Form if they wish to run for a seat on the Board.  The next election is in May of 2027.  Information on obtaining and submitting a Self-Nomination will be provided beginning January 1, 2027.
