Notes

Colorado tax-lien (certificate) county, not a direct deed auction. Weld County Treasurer sells Tax Lien Sale Certificates of Purchase online at weld.coloradotaxsale.com. Next tax lien sale November 5, 2026. Certificates earn statutory interest; after ≥3 years a lawful holder may apply for public auction of Certificate of Option for Treasurer’s Deed (post-HB 24-1056 process). Separate deed auctions use RealAuction wire deposits. Certificates issued after Jan 1, 2026 expire after 7 years per county materials.

Spread is not profit.It compares the opening bid to the county's assessed value, which is not market value — Colorado assesses residential property at two rates since SB24-233. For school district purposes the 2026 residential rate is 7.05% of actual value; for local government purposes 6.95% is applied to actual value less the lesser of 10% of actual value or $70,000 as adjusted for inflation, an effective rate near 6.26% below $700,000. Commercial and agricultural property is 25% for 2026, down from 27% in 2025. This entry uses the school rate, the higher of the two residential figures.
