The official source

Where the official El Paso County list lives

The records behind this list are kept by the El Paso County Clerk & Recorder. Many counties let anyone look up a property there for free, and some publish the whole list. Check the office's website for the format and any fee.

The free route is real: for one list in one county, the county office may be enough. What LeadCounty adds is the weekly collection from every office, matching each record to the right property, a likely-to-sell score with reasons, filters, and stacking with absentee owner. Colorado rules and the Colorado guide explain how the process works.

Why these owners may sell

Unpaid property tax is a dated, money-based signal: the owner may be short of cash, may have inherited the house, or may no longer want it. Every year unpaid brings the county closer to a tax sale or tax foreclosure.

How to work the El Paso County list

  • Stack it with absentee owner or owned 15+ years to find owners who are least attached to the property.
  • Sort by amount owed: larger balances usually mean a longer delay and more urgency.
  • Check the tax-payment history on the property page: a first missed payment is different from three years behind.
  • Lead with help: many owners do not know how close a tax sale is.
The letter to send: tax delinquent ownersFor tax delinquent owners

Dear [first name],

The county records show unpaid property tax on [property address]. If the tax bill has become a burden, you have options, and selling before penalties grow is one of them.

I buy houses as-is and can pay off the back taxes at closing, so you walk away with cash instead of a growing bill.
