Do we have any updates? Or is a new thread required to get the proper attention to this matter?

Unfortunately, that is not how tax collection works in Colorado any longer.

Per the Colorado Department of Revenue (https://www.colorado.gov/pacific/tax/information-state-retailers)

Effective Dec. 1, 2018, the Colorado Department of Revenue will adopt new sales tax rules. The new rules state that sales tax must be collected and remitted based on the jurisdiction’s tax rate at the point of delivery for the taxable good when taxable goods are delivered to a Colorado address outside the retailer’s jurisdiction. This includes any applicable state-administered local and special district taxes. For example, if a retailer delivers taxable goods to a customer’s address, sales tax must now be collected at the rate effective for the customer’s address, not the taxes that are in common between the customer’s address and the seller’s location.

I don’t know if this has truly been fixed since some of us are still having problems. My current solution is to have the tax rates determined by zip code, for every current zip code in Colorado. Any cities that share the same cumulative tax rates are grouped together. Keep in mind that this does not break out taxes by county or district but it gets a more accurate rate for houses in different counties within the same city. In order to get that information correct, I use https://www.taxjar.com/sales-tax-calculator/ to get the tax distribution breakout. (I hope I’m making sense here.)

Again not a long term solution as taxes will change but this is as close to what we can get to “rooftop” accuracy.

Here’s a link to the tax rate table for the individual zip codes.

Feel free to use the file if you’re still having issues. Please note that automated taxes should be disabled if you use this rate table.
