Selling a house in Denver: the derelict-building designation, Thursday online auctions and tax dates
In Denver the Clerk and Recorder takes the deed, at 200 West 14th Avenue, weekdays 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. In-person recording needs an appointment. The recording fee is $43 per document. The office also takes electronic recordings through four contracted providers and says mailed paper can take a week to ten days.
If a house is in foreclosure
Denver's Public Trustee, part of the Clerk and Recorder's office, sells foreclosed homes online on Thursdays at 10 a.m. Bidders register and deposit funds beforehand, and some sales are pushed back week to week for a bankruptcy or a pending cure. The city's page on excess funds explains that a winning bid can exceed the debt. The surplus goes first to the lender's remaining balance, then to junior lienholders who filed an Intent to Redeem, and last to the homeowner. Excess funds are held for six months after the sale. Questions go to [email protected].
Taxes
Denver bills in two halves. The first is due the last day of February and becomes delinquent March 1. The second is due June 15. Paying the full amount by April 30 avoids interest on the first half. Interest runs at 1 percent a month, and a delinquency notice goes out in July. The Treasury Division holds an annual tax lien auction, and a lien that is not redeemed within three years lets the buyer apply for a deed auction.
Empty and neglected houses
Community Planning and Development can designate a building neglected and derelict. One path to the label is a building that has not been lawfully occupied for three consecutive months, is wholly or partly boarded up, and shows no substantial construction. After that, the owner has to secure it, including boarding and closing any openings, and attend a pre-application meeting within 30 days. The city can send a contractor and bill the owner. Failing to comply can bring $5,000 administrative citations, and the city says it contacts new owners after a sale. Selling is one listed way to remove the designation. Ordinary yard and trash problems go through Neighborhood Inspections, which allows at least 10 business days to correct a violation and says fines can start at $150 at the third visit. Reports go to 3-1-1.
Estates
Denver has its own Probate Court at 1437 Bannock Street, Room 230, and it hears probate matters within Denver County only. The Colorado Judicial Branch says the Colorado Constitution created it, and elsewhere in the state district court judges hear probate cases. People filing without a lawyer bring or mail papers to that address. The clerk's number is 303-606-2303.

Margaret A.
Boulder, CO
“My mother passed and left me her house in Fort Collins. It needed everything — roof, furnace, the works. I live across the country away and couldn't deal with contractors. They bought it as-is and I had a check in 18 days. The novation option got me $22K more than the cash offer.”
Linda B.

“I had a triplex in Pueblo with tenants who hadn't paid rent in 2 months. Every cash buyer I called gave me a lowball number. These guys presented four different options — I picked novation and got $22K more than the next best offer.”

Selling a house in Denver-Aurora-Lakewood, CO — common questions
Do you buy houses anywhere in the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood area?
Yes. We buy throughout the Denver-Aurora-Lakewood area and across Colorado, in any condition and any price band. If the property is outside that metro but still in Colorado, we still buy it.
How fast can I get an offer on my Denver-Aurora-Lakewood home?
Within 24 hours of telling us about the property. That covers all four structures, not just a cash number. Cash and wholesale close in 7-14 days and 14-30 days; creative finance and novation take longer because they pay more.
How fast can I sell my house in Colorado?
Close With Creative provides a competitive cash or creative financing offer within 24 hours of evaluating your Colorado property. If you accept, we can close in as little as 7 to 14 days, or on whichever date fits your timeline. Colorado closings are handled by title companies.
Do I need to make repairs before selling my Colorado home?
No. We buy all Colorado properties completely as-is. You do not need to clean, paint, repair the roof, fix the foundation, or address code violations. We handle all maintenance and renovation after closing.
Are there any fees or commissions when selling to Close With Creative in Colorado?
Zero. No agent commissions, no listing fees, no closing costs. Colorado charges a documentary fee of $0.01 per $100 of value plus possible local transfer taxes. We cover everything. The offer you accept is exactly what you receive at closing.
What types of properties does Close With Creative buy in Colorado?
We purchase single-family homes, townhouses, condos, duplexes, multi-family properties, mobile homes, vacant land, and commercial properties throughout Colorado. Any condition — fire damage, water damage, outdated, code violations, or perfectly maintained.
How does Colorado's foreclosure process work?
Colorado uses a unique Public Trustee foreclosure system completing in 110-125 days. Selling to Close With Creative before foreclosure completes protects your credit and preserves your equity.
What is the difference between a cash offer and creative financing in Colorado?
A cash offer means we pay the full price at closing using our own funds, typically within 7 to 14 days. Creative financing structures the purchase over time, often resulting in a higher total payout — sometimes 90% to 110% of market value. We present both options along with novation and wholesale paths so Colorado sellers can choose the best fit.
Can I sell my Colorado house if I still have a mortgage?
Yes. Most Colorado homeowners who sell to us still carry a mortgage. At closing, your existing mortgage is paid off from the sale proceeds through the title company. If you owe more than your home is worth, we may still have creative solutions available.
How do transfer taxes or closing costs work in Colorado?
Colorado charges a documentary fee of $0.01 per $100 of value plus possible local transfer taxes. We cover everything.

We buy properties across all of Colorado's major markets. From the Rocky Mountains to Garden of the Gods, from Aspen ski slopes to Fort Collins craft beer scene. If it's in Colorado, we'll make an offer.

We analyze recent comparable sales, current market conditions, property condition, and repair estimates. Colorado's median home price is approximately $540,000 with homes selling in about 42 days on market. Our valuation process is fully transparent — we share the data behind every offer.
