County transfer tax
Colorado's TABOR amendment bars any new local real estate transfer tax; only a small handful of mountain resort towns with a transfer tax predating TABOR (Aspen, Vail, Breckenridge, Crested Butte, Telluride, Snowmass Village, Frisco, Gunnison, Avon, Winter Park, Ophir) are grandfathered, and none of them sit in Boulder County (the City of Boulder, Longmont and Nederland are not on that list). Boulder County pays only the statewide Documentary Fee ($0.01 per $100), which is already in data/transfer/colorado.json and is separately confirmed on Boulder County's own fee page above.
