Prohibited Signs:
According to Town of Monument Municipal Code (18.06.250) signs are not permitted adjacent to streets in the public right-of-way. When signs are placed in violation of the code, they will be removed. Which means you will have wasted your time, money, as well as town resources. Need clarification on what is allowed/prohibited? Check out the code, here: https://library.municode.com/co/monument/codes/code_of_ordinances?nodeId=TIT18LADECO_CH18.06SI_ART2ADPR_18.06.250PRSI

Let’s keep Monument beautiful by keeping signs out of the public right-of-way 😎

"Your Town, Your Taxes" an informational series:
What’s the Difference Between Sales Tax and Use Tax?

Sales Tax (currently 3.5%) is paid when you purchase taxable goods and services within the Town of Monument (shopping and dining locally) or when you make an online purchase from retailers that collect sales tax based on your delivery address.

Use Tax (currently 2%) applies to items purchased outside of Monument but used within the Town. Example: A contractor or developer purchases construction materials outside Monument for a project being built here. The majority of use tax revenue is typically generated by development activity rather than everyday purchases by residents.

What is Council considering?
The Monument Town Council is considering a ballot measure to increase the Town's use tax from 2% to 3.5%, matching the sales tax rate. If approved by voters, the additional revenue would be used for road and transportation projects, only. No decision has been made, and Council continues to explore transportation funding and infrastructure maintenance options.

Heart of Monument Play Park ♥
What an exciting day! Ground has officially been broken at the site of the brand-new ADA accessible park, right in the heart of Downtown Monument. The location is 238 3rd St, thanks to a land donation from Monument Community Presbyterian Church and the efforts of The Kiwanis Club of Monument Hill.

We look forward to watching the progress on this highly anticipated project!
