Moving to Colorado

[deerslayer94]

We just moved from Highlands Ranch to Nebraska. We loved that area, if you need any advice or have any questions feel free to reach out. My folks recently retired to Bailey to the west of Denver as well.

Appreciate that!

Change your address and get a Colorado driver license as soon as possible after the move. You want a resident hunting license. There’s a waiting period before that kicks in. Big difference in price. Get ready to pay taxes, lots of taxes

Taxes aren’t bad really. 5% state income tax, offset by super low property taxes. Costs more to register your vehicle but not bad. I thought CO was bad before I moved to Nebraska. 7% state income tax, crazy high property taxes, high sales tax, restaurant tax, $1200 just to register each vehicle for a year, this state is awful.

good luck, sir

Good luck in your move. Buy a lifetime license before you leave. You'll be able to come back and hunt and fish without paying out of state costs!

I think Colorado has that covered. From the 2020 Big Game guide

"You terminate your Colorado residency if you apply for, buy or accept a resident hunting, fishing or trapping license issued by another state or foreign country, register to vote outside Colorado or accept a driver's license that shows an address other than in Colorado."

Going to be living in Castle Rock just south of Denver. Hate living in the metal jungle of Dallas. Not making that mistake again

I live in Castle Rock. It's a great little spot, close enough to Denver, quick trip to the mountains. Lots of cool stuff going on downtown.

I couldn't even find a lifetime license available for purchase.
If there is one, what is the cost?

Congrats and good luck! I want to live up north one day and escape this heat and humidity.

Consider anyplace just South of Castle Rock as well as Colorado Springs. 24 will become your preferred road to access the Rockies and opportunities more quickly than 70. Congrats and Good Luck. I'm jealous.

P.S. You'll want to shed those Texas plates and stickers as soon as you get there. It will cut down on the traffic violations and dirty looks. We used to live in Grand Junction (on the other side of the Rockies).

Moved here back in March last year, you'll love it! I live north of Denver in Fort Collins. Let me know if you need a hand with anything when you get up here.

That's greatly appreciated!
