Public Improvement Fee (PIF)

Colorado Mills, Denver West Village, The Promenade at Denver West, and The Shoppes at Denver West

The Public Improvement Fee (PIF) is collected and used to finance a portion of the cost of public improvements, such as public roads, regional storm management, and sanitary sewer systems.  The PIF is 1.4% on all sales and service transactions. 

The PIF is a fee and NOT a tax; therefore, it becomes part of the overall cost of the sale and is subject to sales tax.  The assessed PIF rate may vary by area, therefore review your lease, or contact the leasing manager for verification of your assigned rate.
