Lien Sale
Registration begins at 8:00 a.m. on the day of the sale at the office of the Montrose County Treasurer at 320 S. 1st St.-Room 106, in the Old Courthouse. Please keep in mind registration will close at 9:30 a.m. To help speed up the process of registering, you may print the registration and W-9 forms from this site and bring them completed, to registration. All bids must be remitted by cash, certified checks, bank cashier’s checks, or personal checks guaranteed by irrevocable letters of credit from the bank on which the check is drawn for first time bidders. The sale will be held as in previous years. The chairs will be numbered from 1 thru 150 and you will be sitting in the chair that corresponds to your bidder number. The bidding will be conducted in a round robin bidding process and proceed around the room with each bid. A number will be drawn and the person with that number will start the bidding process. We will then proceed in numerical order with each succeeding bid. If a buyer should pass on his or her turn, that buyer will be required to wait until his or her turn comes around again in order to bid again. Each buyer will be required to complete a W-9 form (Internal Revenue Service) with name, address, telephone number and social security number or federal tax identification number. Tax Lien Sale Certificates are prepared from this information. After the form has been completed, he will be assigned a bidder number and card.

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.
