Zelinger v. City And County of Denver

Plaintiffs-appellants, members of a class action suit, appeal the judgment of the district court upholding the constitutionality of the City and County of Denver Municipal Ordinance No. 160, Series of 1980 [hereinafter referred to as "Ordinance"]. The plaintiffs-appellants claim the Ordinance, which deals with storm drainage facilities and the fees and service charges therefor, unconstitutionally denies equal protection and due process guarantees to property owners. They also contend the Ordinance is an unconstitutional property tax. We disagree and affirm the district court.
