Colorado rules

How unpaid tax and foreclosure work in Colorado

County treasurers sell tax liens at a yearly auction in the fall. The owner can redeem for 3 years; after that the lien holder can apply to the treasurer for a treasurer's deed.

Mortgage foreclosures: non-judicial (public trustee). Foreclosures run through the county public trustee, with a short court hearing (Rule 120) before the sale.
