Tax lien sale
Lake County’s 2026 tax lien sale
| 2026 sale | The treasurer had not posted the 2026 date when shinnslist checked on October 21, 2026. By law the sale starts by December 14, 2026, the second Monday in December. |
|---|---|
| Interest | A Colorado lien earns 13% a year in 2026 until the owner pays it off: the federal discount rate on September 1 plus nine points. |
| What a lien buys | The right to be repaid with interest, not the property. If the taxes stay unpaid for three years, the lien holder can apply for a treasurer’s deed. |
