HOW ARE TAXES BILLED IN PUEBLO COUNTY?
IN THE STATE OF COLORADO, PROPERTY TAXES ARE COLLECTED ONE YEAR IN ARREARS, THE PROPERTY TAX LIEN AUTOMATICALLY ATTACHES TO THE PROPERTY ON JANUARY 1ST OF THE TAX YEAR AND BECOMES PAYABLE ON JANUARY 1ST OF THE FOLLOWING YEAR. IT IS THE PROPERTY THAT SECURES THE TAX LIEN AND THE LIEN FOLLOWS THE PROPERTY, NOT THE OWNER, UNTIL PAID IN FULL. FAILURE TO RECEIVE A TAX STATEMENT DOES NOT REMOVE ANY LIABILITY FOR THE TIMELY PAYMENT OF TAXES.
