Behind on Colorado Property Taxes? Here's How to Sell Your Land Fast

What It Means to Owe Property Taxes in Colorado

When you own land in Colorado, property taxes support local schools, roads, and fire districts. Each county sends an annual tax bill — and if it goes unpaid, penalties start adding up fast. Within months, the county can place a lien on your land.

After three years of unpaid taxes, most Colorado counties can sell your property through a tax lien certificate sale. That means investors buy the debt and eventually have the right to take your property if it's not paid off.

It sounds scary, but there's still time. If you're behind, you can usually sell the property before the tax sale happens — even if you owe thousands. That's where we step in.

Why Listing Your Land Won't Solve Back Taxes

Most realtors avoid properties with delinquent taxes because buyers get nervous. Even if you find an interested buyer, closing can drag out for months while the title company clears liens.

• Realtors charge commissions that eat into any remaining equity.
• Buyers back out once they learn about the unpaid taxes.
• Counties keep adding penalties the longer you wait.
• Time runs out fast before the next tax lien auction.

We buy land exactly as it sits — back taxes, liens, or late fees included. You don't pay them before selling. We handle everything at closing so you can walk away clean.
