Non-Judicial Foreclosure in Colorado
Colorado uses a public trustee process overseen by county officials. The process takes about 7 months total. Junior lienholders have a 75-day redemption window.
Non-judicial states use a “power of sale” or trustee process that moves faster than court-supervised foreclosures.
