Public Trustee Fee Change
Colorado House Bill 24-1269 was passed by the Colorado Legislature in May, 2024. This new law will change the Clerk & Recorder’s document recording fees to a flat fee of $43.00 for any recorded document, regardless of page count. The new fee will take effect on July 1, 2025.
Please note-Effective July 1, 2025 The Public Trustee will increase the foreclosure deposit to $1,100 due to the new law increasing recording fees.
NOTICE TO A BORROWER IN FORECLOSURE: If your property goes to foreclosure auction sale and is purchased for more than the total owed to the lender and to all other lien holders, please contact the Public Trustee's office after the sale because you may have funds due to you. Borrowers do not need to pay any fee to the Public Trustee or any third party in order to collect excess funds.
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.
NOTICE TO LENDER ATTORNEYS: Attorneys must submit an ACH form for all foreclosure fee refunds and lender payments (Cure Payments and Sale Proceeds), effective January 1, 2025. Please Note-Effective July 1, 2025: The Public Trustee will increase the foreclosure deposit to $1,100 due to the new law increasing recording fees.
