Colorado Foreclosure Law and Procedure

Here is a summary of foreclosure laws and rules for the State of Colorado:

  • Both judicial and non-judicial foreclosure is available, but the non-judicial deed of trust sale is overwhelmingly preferred.
  • Colorado has an impartial, accountable, "public trustee" appointed by the Governor for each county, who handles power of sale foreclosures on request.
  • If the loan default is due to nonpayment, then the borrower can give notice of an intention to cure the default at least seven days before the foreclosure sale.
  • The lender may sue for a deficiency.
  • The borrower has 75 days after the date of sale to redeem.
