🏠 How do I look up property records in Colorado? ▼

Colorado has no statewide property database — each of the 64 counties runs its own Clerk and Recorder + Assessor offices. Two offices for any given parcel: (1) County Clerk and Recorder for recorded documents (deeds, deeds of trust, releases, liens, plats, surveys). Most counties offer free online document search. Major examples: Denver Clerk & Recorder at https://www.denvergov.org/Government/Agencies-Departments-Offices/Agencies-Departments-Offices-Directory/Clerk-and-Recorder; El Paso County (Colorado Springs) at https://clerkandrecorder.elpasoco.com/recording/recorded-documents/; Larimer County (Fort Collins) at https://www.larimer.gov/clerk/recording; Boulder County at https://www.bouldercounty.org/records; Jefferson, Adams, Arapahoe, Douglas, Weld, Pueblo, Mesa all have public portals. (2) County Assessor for parcel valuation, ownership, and parcel maps — same county sites typically host both. (3) County Treasurer for tax-payment status. Recording fees (per C.R.S. § 30-1-103, current as of 2026): typically $13 first page + $5 each additional page for most documents; +$3 surcharge for documentary preservation; Documentary Fee of $0.01 per $100 (1 cent per $100 of consideration) on most real estate transfers — Colorado has one of the lowest transfer taxes in the U.S. Certified copies typically $1 first page + $0.25 each additional. Statewide aggregators (paid services covering all 64 counties): Colorado CAD Property Search at https://esearch.coloradocad.org; Colorado Deed Records at https://deedrecords.coloradoofficialrecords.com; Colorado PropertyChecker at https://colorado.propertychecker.com. Free statewide directory: Colorado Division of Property Taxation at https://dpt.colorado.gov/assessors-office-resources lists every county Assessor. CORA (Colorado Open Records Act): records are public unless specifically exempted. Sources: Colorado Division of Property Taxation, Colorado Deed Records, El Paso County Clerk & Recorder, C.R.S. § 30-1-103.

❓ How can I check for bankruptcy records in Colorado? ▼

Colorado bankruptcy records are FEDERAL court records — not Colorado state records. They're held by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Colorado at 721 19th St, Denver CO 80202, phone (720) 904-7300, https://www.cob.uscourts.gov. Two ways to access: (1) PACER (Public Access to Court Electronic Records) at https://pacer.uscourts.gov — registration required (free); $0.10 per page, capped at $3.00 per document. PACER covers ALL federal bankruptcy cases nationwide. Search by debtor name, case number, attorney, or filing date. Returns case docket, filings, schedules, claims register. (2) Multi-Court Voice Case Information System (McVCIS) at (866) 222-8029 — free phone-based lookup by debtor name; returns case number, filing date, chapter (7/11/13), discharge status. (3) U.S. Bankruptcy Court District of Colorado website at https://www.cob.uscourts.gov also has free local case-info tools and links to PACER. Colorado does NOT issue bankruptcy records — bankruptcy is exclusively federal jurisdiction under 11 U.S.C. (Bankruptcy Code). State CBI background checks do NOT include bankruptcy filings unless they were tied to a state criminal conviction. For employment, FCRA-compliant vendors (Checkr, Sterling, GoodHire) wrap PACER bankruptcy into background reports. Note: under FCRA, bankruptcy filings can be reported for 10 years from the filing date (Chapter 7) or 7 years from filing or dismissal (Chapter 13) — see 15 U.S.C. § 1681c. Bankruptcy Free Look: each PACER user gets up to $30 of free access per quarter without billing. For an attorney consultation: Colorado Bankruptcy Attorneys Bar Association at https://www.cobankruptcybar.com.
