Your questions, answered
The questions we hear most often from Colorado homeowners. Do not see yours? Call us at (720) 573-1712.
Will I lose my home if my property taxes are sold at a tax lien sale?
Not immediately. At a Colorado tax lien sale, the county sells a tax lien certificate — the right to be repaid your overdue taxes plus interest — not your home. You keep ownership and generally have a redemption period of several years to pay what is owed and clear the lien. A home is only lost if that period passes with no action.
How much does it cost to talk to you?
Nothing. Consultations are free, private, and carry no obligation. Our goal is to help you understand your options so you can make the best decision for your family.
Can I still sell my house if I owe back property taxes?
Yes. In many cases you can sell a property with delinquent taxes, and the amount owed is typically paid from the sale proceeds at closing. Selling before additional penalties and interest accumulate often protects more of your equity.
What is a redemption period?
It is the window of time, after a tax lien is sold, during which you can pay the amount owed plus the state-set interest to remove the lien. In Colorado this is generally a period of a few years. Confirm your specific dates with your county treasurer.
How quickly should I act?
As soon as you can. Interest accrues over time and each deadline that passes removes options. The earlier you reach out, the more paths are usually available to protect your home and equity.
Are there relief programs I might qualify for?
Colorado offers programs that can help certain homeowners — for example seniors, people with disabilities, and active military may qualify for deferral or exemption programs. Eligibility rules apply, so confirm current details with the state or your county treasurer.
Are you a government agency?
No. CO Tax Relief Now is a private Colorado company operated by Resolved Investments Ltd, led by a licensed Colorado real estate broker. We are not affiliated with any county treasurer or taxing authority. We provide education, guidance, and practical solutions.
What will you do with my information?
We use it only to contact you and review your options. We do not sell your personal information. See our Privacy Policy for details.
