In observance of the Independence Day national holiday, all Douglas County Government offices will be closed Friday, July 4. Offices will reopen on Monday, July 7, for normal business. Many County services are available 24/7 by visiting online services. License plate renewal is available online or at kiosks located throughout the County and state.
After the U.S. Supreme Court decision, Tyler v. Hennepin County, the Treasurer’s Deed process was changed by the State of Colorado to ensure it did not violate the Fifth Amendment. It now closely resembles the process for Foreclosures.
Please see the below video presentation that provides Tax Lien Sale Investors with the information they need on how the Deed process has changed. A PDF of the PowerPoint presentation is also available for download.
Douglas County is now accepting applications from Investors for Treasurer’s Deeds again. Please see our FAQ below for a copy of the form.
When a lien for unpaid property taxes is left unpaid for 3 or more years, the investor who holds that lien may apply for a Treasurer’s Deed to gain ownership of the property. Until a deed is issued, the ownership on the property does not change.
After an investor holds a lien against a property for 3 years, they may apply for a Treasurer’s Deed. To take part in our tax lien sale, please see the Tax Lien Sale Information page.
Douglas County is now taking applications for Treasurer’s Deeds. The cost to apply is $1,000.00. Please complete this form and mail it with payment to:
Douglas County Treasurer
Attn: Treasurer’s Deed
PO Box 1208
Castle Rock, CO 80104
All Treasurer’s Deeds are now subject to the new process and will have to be restarted with the new process.
Once our office can start processing deeds again, investors will be notified and asked if they still want to move forward with their deeds given the change.
Typically around 6th months.
