Budgetary disarray

The borough government is in financial difficulty. In May 2015, it was declared to be "financially distressed" by the state. With an annual budget of about two million dollars, the borough is more than one million dollars in debt.

The local district attorney has seized financial records, although at least some from 2011, 2012, and 2013 cannot be accounted for.[8]

The local tax rate is very high; press reports indicate it to be five times higher than in richer regional towns. No new buildings have been built in Colwyn since 2007.[9]
