Public Trustee

The Treasurer of Baca County also serves as Public Trustee.  The Public Trustee is responsible for processing foreclosures and releasing deeds of trust. Colorado County Treasurers’ and Public Trustees’ Associations (e-ccta.org)

If your property goes to foreclosure auction sale and is purchased for more than the total owed to the lender and to all other lien holders, please contact the public trustee’s office after the sale because you may have funds due to you.

If the borrower believes that a lender or servicer has violated the requirements for a single point of contact in section 38-38-103.1 or the prohibition on dual tracking in section 38-38-103.2, the borrower may file a complaint with the Colorado Attorney General, the Federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), or both. The filing of a complaint will not stop the foreclosure process.
