Just because you live in Frederick, Firestone, or Dacono does not mean you pay taxes to the District. To find out if you are in-District, go to the Weld County Portal and search using your last name. Click on your information, then "Taxing Districts." If you see "Carbon Valley Park and Recreation District" in the list then you are considered in-District. If not, then you do not pay taxes to the District and are not in-District.
