Capitalization after a colon

Do you always have to capitalize after a colon?

For example,

I have a car and house (car: ford; house: one-story house).

Here, do you capitalize after the colon?

Thank you.

p.s. pls.don't pay attention to the construction of the sentence. I am focusing on the capitalization part so I made this sentence up.
