Mortgage Company Payments
Colorado Revised Statutes mandate that the Treasurer mail the

address are listed on the Tax Roll certified by the County Assessor. Therefore, your mortgage
company DOES NOT receive a copy of the Property Tax Statement.
Most mortgage companies perform their own research on the property
taxes they are responsible for by your contractual agreement.
If you feel your mortgage company needs a copy of your Property
Tax Statement, simply send them a photocopy or contact the Treasurer's
Office for an additional copy. The fee is $2.00.
If you and your mortgage company submit payment, the Treasurer will process the first payment received and return the subsequent payment to the paying party.
