Colorado rules in brief

Colorado sells tax liens, not land. Each county treasurer holds one tax lien sale a year, usually in late October or November and mostly online. You pay the taxes owed and earn interest until the owner pays the lien off. If the owner never does, the lien can lead to a treasurer's deed years later.
