A tax lien is a claim against a property imposed by law to secure the payment of taxes.
Delinquent Real Property Taxes will be advertised once a week for 3 consecutive weeks prior to the annual tax lien sale for the amount of taxes, accrued interest, advertising, and other applicable charges. (Per Statute C.R.S. 39-11-102 ).
Purchasing County-held tax lien certificates is a "buyer beware" proposition, we strongly advise that you conduct due diligence in researching a certificate before having it assigned to you.
Please research legal descriptions using maps and records available through the Assessor’s Office.
You may also want to go to the property and see for yourself before making a decision.
Understand that you are holding a tax lien certificate; this does not give you any legal rights to the encumbered property.
Payments Must Be Made by Cash and/or Certified Funds
