Treasurer and Public Trustee

Treasurer and Public Trustee

Irene Josey was elected Larimer County Treasurer in 2014, after serving as the appointed Chief Deputy Treasurer since 1988. She is now serving in her third four-year term. She began her career in the Treasurer's Office in 1986 - gathering the knowledge and practical experience to assume leadership of the Office 28 years later. Irene has developed a strong knowledge of relevant Colorado State Statutes and knows how to apply the law to the safe investment of public funds, and to the effective management of the county Treasury.

The state of Colorado offers a property tax deferral program for seniors and active military, allowing them to postpone payments until the property is sold.

Per Colorado House Bill 24-1056, the Treasurer's Deed process has changed effective July 1, 2024.  Deeds will no longer be automatically issued to the lien holder, instead the option for Treasurer's Deed will be sold through an online public auction to the highest bidder.  This auction provides an opportunity for the property to be sold at fair market value as determined by bidding. At the conclusion of the auction, the lien holder will have the option to redeem for the auction purchase price if they would like to take ownership of the property.

Personal Property is generally known as portable or moveable items that are used for income production. Examples would be office furniture, business equipment, restaurant equipment and fixtures, and any other item used to operate a business. All personal property is taxable unless it is specifically exempt by law.
