The only person(s) who may apply for a Treasurer's Deed is the holder of the Tax Lien Certificate.
In accordance with CRS 39-11-120(1) and 39-11-128(1)(a), a Treasurer's Deed may be issued three years from the date of the original sale, upon proper application and notification.
How Do I Apply?
Contact the Treasurer's Deed Technician and request an application at (970) 353-3845 ext 3290.
Please return the completed application and the $350.00 application fee to our office at 1400 N. 17th Avenue, Greeley Colorado.
Per C.R.S. 39-11-120, applications received without the original certificate cannot be processed.
The application fee is a title expense which includes, title commitment and policy, advertising charges, mailing fees, posting fees and any additional charges accrued in procedures by statute for issuance of a Treasurer's Deed.
The Treasurer's Deed process takes approximately three to five months, given no unforeseen problems. The deed is issued three months, ten days, after the last date of advertising. Advertising is initiated as soon as the title commitment and certified mailing to legally interested parties is complete.
The Treasurer's Deed will be issued if redemption is not made prior to the execution date. The Treasurer's Deed is recorded with the Weld County Clerk and Recorder.
Things To Remember:
The Treasurer's Deed will not be issued until ALL subsequent property tax liens are brought current.
A Treasurer's Deed is an unmarketable title for seven years. You may deed the property to another; however, you may not warrant the title. Please contact an attorney or title company for further information. The Treasurer's Office is unable to advise you in this matter.
If the certificate is redeemed prior to deed issuance, you will receive your investment, interest, and your application fee in full. However, no interest is earned on the application fee.
