Notice to Homeowners

If your property goes to a foreclosure auction sale and is purchased for more than the total owed to the lender and all other lien holders, please contact the Public Trustee's Office after the sale because you may have funds due to you.

In addition, be aware that ownership of the property will not transfer away from you until at least eight business days after the actual foreclosure sale, which may occur at a date later than the initial sales date indicated on the mailed notice you receive from this office. There is no reason to vacate your home before the actual foreclosure sale.

IF THE BORROWER BELIEVES THAT A LENDER OR SERVICER HAS VIOLATED THE REQUIREMENTS FOR A SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT IN SECTION 38-38-103.1 OR THE PROHIBITION ON DUAL TRACKING IN SECTION 38-38-103.2, THE BORROWER MAY FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE COLORADO ATTORNEY GENERAL, THE FEDERAL CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION BUREAU (CFPB), OR BOTH. THE FILING OF A COMPLAINT WILL NOT STOP THE FORECLOSURE PROCESS.
