How foreclosure and tax sales work in Colorado

General rules. Procedures vary by county, so confirm with the official office.

Colorado mostly uses nonjudicial foreclosure under a power of sale in the deed of trust or mortgage, and the property is sold by the county public trustee.

Colorado is generally a tax lien state: the county treasurer sells liens or certificates on unpaid property taxes, and the buyer earns interest or penalties until the owner pays.

Tax lien sales are held each fall, usually in October or November.
