I Bought Some Jeffco Property Tax Liens at Auction; Here’s What I Learned

In Colorado, if you haven’t paid your property taxes by June, your county sells the resulting tax lien at auction a few months later. In Jefferson County, that auction was held online over Nov. 6 and 7, and I decided to buy a few in Golden, where I live, to learn about the process so I could share it with you, my readers. This year, 85 other buyers and I purchased a total of 1,130 tax liens totaling $6.4 million, paying a premium of $400,415 or 6.25% more overall than what was actually owed in property taxes plus accrued interest and fees by the property owners. The county treasurer received the $6.4 million on behalf of the properties’ respective tax districts, and the $400,415 went to the county’s general fund. The reason people purchase tax liens is to pocket the 15% interest that is added to the taxes owed. When the property owner “redeems” his property, he basically pays the lien holder the amount of the lien plus interest from the date of the sale through the date of redemption. Thus, if the taxpayer takes a year to pay it, I earn 15% interest minus the premium which I paid. If he redeems it soon after I have purchased the lien, I

lose money depending on how much I bid up the lien amount. I chatted with a fellow lien buyer and learned his technique for making money on tax liens. He researches each property owner to determine whether he’s likely to pay quickly, slowly, or not at all. For example, was he delinquent in prior years? I didn’t do any of that research, so I have no idea whether a year or two from now I will be counting my profits or my losses on the four liens I purchased. I’ll chalk up any losses to the cost of publishing this column! Statistically, 7% of tax liens are redeemed within a month of the sale, 22% within 3 months, and 38% within 6 months. It’s been two months since the sale, and none of my four tax liens have been redeemed. All but 4% of purchased tax liens are redeemed within 4 years. In the next column is a chart showing how many tax liens were sold at auction since 2001, so you can see that this year’s numbers are not much different than in prior years. The $6.4 million figure is higher than last year, but can be attributed in part to the increase in assessed valuation of Jeffco properties. Fifty-two tax liens totaling $13,909 were not purchased in the online auc-

Golden Ranch Is Close to White Ranch Open Space This well-maintained home at 1509 Jesse Lane is within the City of Golden with its low property taxes and famous amenities, yet it is closer to the lower entrance of the White Ranch Open Space than it is to downtown Golden. Located behind a hogback, it is super quiet too, isolated from traffic and other noises. With 5 bedrooms (four with walk-in clos$1,495,000 ets) and 3½ bathrooms, it is a large home with two family rooms, a rec room and over 1,000 sq. ft. of unfinished storage. The heated 3-car garage is finished and has an epoxy floor. The third bay has a workshop table and cabinets. Take a video tour at www.NorthGoldenHome.com, then come to the open house Saturday, 11am to 1pm, or call listing agent David Dlugasch at 303-908-4835 to see it.

Lakewood Tri-Level Has Mother-in-Law Apartment This well-maintained home at 2230 Zeph$695,000 yr St. is on 1/3 acre in that quiet neighborhood southeast of Crown Hill lake and park and west of Wadsworth Blvd. The location offers a perfect blend of seclusion and convenience, not far from a light rail station and Hwy. 6. Its seller-owned solar panels provide most of the home’s electrical needs. Entering the home, you’re greeted by a living and dining room with vaulted, wood-beamed ceilings, hardwood floors and a wood-burning fireplace. The kitchen has updated cabinets, a newer stainless refrigerator, and a breakfast nook overlooking the expansive backyard. The upper level contains three bedrooms and a full bathroom, as well as a high-efficiency washer and dryer. On the lower level is a 1-bedroom mother-in-law apartment with its own entrance, back patio, storage shed, washer/dryer, and driveway. Visit www.LakewoodHome.info to view a narrated video tour, then call listing agent Kathy Jonke at 303-990-7428 to arrange a private showing.

is never redeemed, but in the past 5 years only two improved properties ended up being acquired in that matter. One was a home with a possible meth issue, and the other was an abandoned gas station that remains closed and unsold 3 years later. Until 2004, tax liens were sold at the county treasurer’s office in a live auction, but since then it has been conducted online by a vendor in a very streamlined manner. I was impressed at how easy it was for buyers to participate. In my posting of this article on Substack, I provide more details from the treasurer’s office about this complicated topic. In conclusion, I learned a lot, but I don’t think I’ll buy more tax tion, so those liens remain held by the liens next year. Although I was studying Jeffco, other county.

Wheat Ridge Ranch Features Some Great Updates Wheat Ridge has some great neighbor$525,000 hoods, and this home at 4021 Moore St. is in one of them. It’s north of 38th Avenue, west of Kipling, and south of I-70 far enough that you’re totally unaware of any of them. In my video tour at www.WheatRidgeHome.info, all you hear outside are birds and the wind in the trees. Inside, this 1958 brick ranch has an updated kitchen and two updated bathrooms. Hardwood flooring was added in the common areas plus the primary bedroom. Partially visible to the left is the newer 2-car carport that could easily be enclosed to be a detached garage, and next to it is a large shed with 4 separate storage rooms. Typical for this seller, both the carport and shed have a shingle roof, gutters and downspouts that match those on the home. After viewing the narrated video tour, come to the open house this coming Sunday from 11am to 1pm, or call listing agent Kathy Jonke, 303-990-7428, to see it.

ALTERNATIVE INVESTMENTS

Qualified Opportunity Zones: One strategy for deferring capital gains is to re-invest them into a Qualified Opportunity Zone, a distressed area earmarked for improvement to foster economic development. Investors have 180 days to re-direct their capital gains which defers the capital gains tax for a period of time. Conservation Easements: An agreement to restrict use of land to preserve it from development. A landowner who donates a qualifying conservation easement is eligible for a federal charitable deduction equal to the value of the easement. The Mountain Area Land Trust has worked in partnership with individuals seeking to conserve their land for future generations. Renewable Energy: Renewable Energy, especially solar, provides an opportunity for investors. Every dollar invested in solar credits equals $1.30 on average in depreciation allowance. Oil & Gas: There is a tax advantage for investing in oil and gas drilling. As long as wells are producing, this strategy also produces a quick return of capital. Art: Investing into a fund representing 60-70 contemporary works with broad diversification that are sold to auctioneers, private galleries, and collectors, with proceeds distributed to the investors. Private REITs: Real estate investment trusts, open to accredited and institutional investors, typically yield higher returns than REITs on the public market. They include multifamily real estate, storage units, hospitals, and hotels and resorts.

Your Home Has A New Year’s Resolution Too! Do you have goals for your home this year? Do they include warmth, efficiency, aesthetics, AND saving you money? Here are the top 5 goals our customers achieve with a new fireplace, stove or insert from Mountain Hearth & Patio! More heat and less spent on heating bills. Today’s gas or woodburning hearth appliances are designed to be the most efficient ever, with more heat into your home using less fuel. Gas is the most cost-effective source of heat for your home, and a new high-efficiency gas-fueled hearth appliance will pay for itself in the long-term by reducing the amount of fuel you use to heat your home. If you have a lot of cordwood sitting around, a new high-efficiency EPA-Certified wood burning fireplace, stove, or insert will heat your home without relying on your conventional utilities. Changing fuel for convenience. Our most common project is to convert an outdated inefficient wood burning

fireplace to gas. Many of our customers are switching to the convenience of a gas-fueled fireplace, stove, or insert. With the push of a button, the fireplace turns on or it can be thermostatically remote controlled to keep your room consistently comfortable. You can even control your thermostat temperature or heat-circulating blower from your couch. Improved safety and air quality. New EPA-Certified wood burning units burn efficiently and cleanly, reducing creosote buildup and risk of a hostile chimney fire. The key to that efficiency is a combustion air control, which slows the burn of wood, saving fuel. If your existing wood fireplace isn’t EPA-Certified, you are throwing money away on wasted wood and a drafty appliance. Newer gas fireplaces, stoves, and inserts are also safer than previous models because of Direct Vent technology, which brings air from outside to fuel the flames, and exhaust combustion byproducts out

a separate channel, so there is no chance of carbon monoxide or soot entering your home from these appliances. Create a centerpiece for your home! Today’s hearth appliances have a wide variety of design options to complement any style. They offer near endless options for customization, such as choices for log sets or glass bead burner media, traditional to contemporary firebox panels, and choices of metal finishes on the fronts. New fireplaces come in nearly any shape and size, and can be installed even where there was no fireplace before. If you want extra heat in your bedroom, TV room, basement, or addition, give us a call to discuss your project! Perfecting and Protecting what you have. Does your living room currently have a drafty, inefficient open wood burning fireplace? You can seal out the cold and bring heat into your home by updating it with an efficient gas or woodstove insert. If you’re happy with

Have the fireplace of your dreams for 2024. Increase efficiency, reliability, and safety with your new gas or woodburning fireplace, stove, or insert

your fireplace but want to stop the draft, we can replace the conventional damper; or we can help you design and install a new set of doors that will help retain heat, save money on energy bills, and update the look of your fireplace. Lastly, protect your investment and your home with proper annual maintenance. Our technicians are certified by the Chimney Safety Institute of America and the National Fireplace Institute. Their expertise can help you to make the most of your hearth appliance, and keep it running efficiently for years to come. For 2024, make your home’s beauty, safety, warmth, and cost savings a priority! Give us a call today at 303-679-1601, email Office@MtnHP.com, or visit our showroom at 7001 Highway 73, Evergreen.

Turn Up the Heat and Flavor for the Big Game (StatePoint) Hosting a Big Game watch party? By following the playbook of BBQ experts, you’ll have your friends and family cheering for your game day spread. “The trick to achieving tasty BBQ is real smoke flavor. And, to get real smoke flavor, you need quality, natural hardwoods, with or without a pellet grill,” says Levi Strayer of Bear Mountain BBQ, “Start grilling with pellets, and everyone will immediately taste the difference—it’s a game changer.” With that philosophy in mind, Bear Mountain BBQ ambassador Jennifer Danella is sharing two BBQ winning recipes. Both incorporate the brand’s premium pellets to bring unbeatable flavor to the table. Sweet Heat Barbeque Wild Turkey Bites Ingredients: • 1 boneless, skinless turkey or chicken breast, approximately 2 pounds, cut into 1-inch pieces • 1 tablespoon chili powder • 1 teaspoon paprika • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper • 1/2 teaspoon garlic salt • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper • 1 tablespoon loosely-packed light brown sugar • 1 package center-cut bacon, cut in half • Sliced green onions • Ranch dressing • Chef’s Choice or Butcher’s Blend Bear Mountain BBQ Pellets • 1/2 cup sweet barbecue sauce • 2 tablespoons buffalo sauce • 1 tablespoon minced garlic Directions: 1. Preheat grill to 400 degrees F. 2. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. 3. Place 1-inch turkey pieces into a medium size bowl. Sprinkle chili powder, paprika, cayenne, garlic salt, black pepper and brown sugar over top. Mix well. 4. Wrap half a slice of bacon around each turkey piece. Secure with a toothpick and place them onto the parchment paper. 5. Place the baking sheet into your

preheated grill and bake for 25 minutes. Meanwhile, combine the barbecue sauce, buffalo sauce and garlic in a small bowl. Brush the turkey pieces halfway through cooking. Brush another layer of sauce five minutes before the cook time is over. Cook until the turkey pieces reach 165 degrees F. 6. Garnish with sliced green onions and serve with ranch dressing for dipping. Beer Cheese Dip Ingredients: • 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese grated • 1/2 cup gruyere cheese grated • 8 ounces cream cheese softened • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard • 1/2 of a 1-ounce Hidden Valley Ranch Packet • 2 tablespoons green onions chopped. • 1/4 cup German lager beer • 2 tablespoons baking soda

• 1 can biscuits • 1 large egg, mixed with 1 tablespoon water, for brushing biscuits • 12-inch cast iron skillet • Bear Mountain BBQ’s Chef’s Choice Blend pellets Directions: 1. Preheat pellet grill to 350 degrees F. 2. In large bowl, combine 1 cup cheddar, gruyere, cream cheese, Dijon mustard, Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning, beer and 1 tablespoon green onions. Mix evenly. 3. Cut biscuits in half. Roll each half into a ball, then slice an X across top. 4. Boil 2 cups water in medium saucepan. Once boiling, add baking soda and mix immediately. 5. Add biscuits to grill in batches and cook until puffy, approximately 1 minute. Remove and transfer to skillet, forming ring along inside edge. 6. Brush biscuits with egg wash.

Sprinkle with salt. 7. Transfer dip to center of skillet. Sprinkle with remaining cheddar. 8. Smoke until biscuits are golden and dip is bubbly, 30-35 minutes. 9. Garnish with remaining green onions. Serve! As you make your Game Day preparations, head to Walmart, which is carrying a new collection of Bear Mountain’s grilling and smoking pellets. The five exclusive flavors -- Smoky Apple Whiskey, Maple Bourbon Pecan, Chef’s Choice, Butcher’s Blend and Chophouse Blend -- add unrivaled flavor to all grilling and smoking occasions. The collection can also be found online at Walmart.com. For recipe ideas and techniques for adding smoke flavor to your food using any grill, visit bearmountainbbq.com. To bring your A-game to the Big Game, level up your hosting with mouthwatering BBQ treats.

You won’t be as tempted to go back and have seconds, nor stuff a few more mouthfuls in when cleaning up later. * I have a medicine that I take with every meal. Surprisingly, it’s difficult to remember whether I took it already when I’m eating on the go or out with friends. I keep small containers in my purse labeled “lunch” and “dinner,” each with one pill inside. Before I eat, I look in the container. If a pill is there, it means I forgot to take it. Then I refill the container when I get home and it’s ready for next time.
