Adams County Tax Timeline
Adams County property taxes are due by April 30th. When taxes remain unpaid, liens accrue interest and penalties. Eventually, the county conducts tax sales. Selling before this date preserves your full equity.
Thornton Tax Lien Situations We Handle
Original Thornton Inherited Homes
The original Thornton neighborhoods developed in the 1950s-60s. Many founding families have now passed on these properties, sometimes with accumulated tax issues we can help resolve.
North Thornton Developments
Newer developments like Eastlake and North End may have metro district taxes in addition to county taxes. We coordinate with all entities to clear liens at closing.
Multiple Tax Issues
Some Thornton properties have both property tax liens and special assessments. We work with title companies to identify and resolve all encumbrances.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you buy a Thornton property with unpaid taxes?
Yes. We purchase properties with back taxes owed to Adams County. All liens are paid from sale proceeds at closing through the title company.
How does Adams County handle tax liens?
Adams County places liens on delinquent properties. After the redemption period, properties can be sold at tax sale. We help you sell before losing ownership.
What about Original Thornton homes?
Many 1950s-60s Thornton homes have been in families for generations. When original owners pass, heirs may discover accumulated tax issues. We handle any situation.
How fast can you close?
We close in 7-14 days. For properties facing imminent tax sale, we prioritize faster closings to protect your ownership rights.
What if there are metro district taxes too?
Thornton has several metro districts with their own assessments. We coordinate with all taxing entities to clear title at closing.
