Unpaid property taxes create a serious cashflow problem for Arapahoe county, Colorado.

Property taxes that are delinquent are added to any previously uncollected taxes on a parcel of Arapahoe county. Parcels whose taxes are subject to sale will be advertised in a Arapahoe county newspaper of general circulation. They are listed by sequence number. Parcels fall into 1 of 2 groups. Each group is sorted by parcel number.

The advertisement appears about three to six weeks before the Arapahoe county tax sale auction and is also posted on the Internet.
