Seniors, Veterans, and Active-Duty Military

Beginning in 2023, the Colorado State Treasurer’s Office took over the tax deferral programs, including processing applications, which was formerly done by our office.

The interest rate is “equivalent to the rate per annum on the most recently issued ten-year United States treasury note, rounded to the nearest one-tenth of one percent, as reported by the ‘Wall Street Journal’, as of February 1” (C.R.S. 39-3.5-105(5)).

Tax exemption program applications are processed by the Assessor:

Tax Exemption for Veterans with a Disability

Tax Liens

Once a year, real properties with unpaid taxes are subject to having a tax lien placed on the property.

Tax Lien Sale Information

If a tax lien is outstanding for more than three years, a lienholder can apply for the Treasurer to hold an auction of the property.

Treasurer’s Deed Auctions

NOTICE TO A PROPERTY OWNER OF A PROPERTY FOR WHICH THE OPTION FOR TREASURER'S DEED HAS BEEN SOLD AT PUBLIC AUCTION

If the option for a treasurer’s deed for your property is sold at a public auction for more than the total owed to the lawful holder of a tax lien on your property and to all other lien holders, please contact the treasurer’s office after the auction because you may have funds due to you.
