PROPERTY TAX RESEARCH, MADE SIMPLER
Denver County, Colorado
Where to look, which office to contact, and how to request records.
Where to obtain records
City and County of Denver Treasury / Property Tax Records
Official county tax-records access guidanceHow to find the information
Denver Treasury publishes a dedicated Real Estate Delinquent Taxes and Tax Lien Sale page, separate from Pay Property Taxes and Treasurer’s Deed Application Information. Use Treasury at 720-913-9300 for an existing unpaid ledger, tax-lien redemption amount or the relevant published delinquency record.
For an existing delinquent real-property report, parcel account/payment ledger, Statement of Taxes Due or dated tax-lien redemption amount, provide the account/parcel/schedule reference, tax years and desired as-of date. Ask whether current delinquency, sold or county-held liens, later endorsements, interest and advertising/redemption costs are included and whether recent payments have posted. Confirm inspection, electronic-copy, certification, research and extract fees. Assessor valuations, loan foreclosures and dated sale lists do not certify today’s unpaid balance.
What to ask for
“I am looking for publicly available delinquent real-property tax records for Denver County for [tax year]. Which office maintains these records? Is there an online search or downloadable list? If not, how can I request a copy, and what fees apply?”
Have the property address, parcel number, owner name, and tax year ready when searching for a particular property.
County-specific notes
Denver’s Treasury property-tax desk differs from the Clerk and Recorder/Public Trustee foreclosure office. A lien-sale list, a deed application and a loan foreclosure are different records. No taxpayer account search or sale registration was submitted. No taxpayer query, account registration, CAPTCHA completion, public-records request, bidder registration, upload or payment was submitted. No taxpayer rows or owner-list attachments are included.
