The foreclosure process in Colorado is quite a bit different than in other states because the Governor appoints a 
“Public Trustee” for each county in the state. The trustee must act as an impartial party when handling a power of sale foreclosure. The Public Trustee acts as a representative of the lender to facilitate the sale, which typically occurs in the form of a public auction.
Because of these differences, national foreclosure reporting companies may report a Colorado foreclosed property as many as two to three times between the Notices of Election and Demand, and at the point of a public trustee sale, thereby inflating Colorado foreclosure figures.
Over the years, concerns have been raised that foreclosure numbers for Colorado are inflated versus other states that have already implemented standardized reporting procedures. This can put Colorado at a disadvantage when national numbers are analyzed and compared.
There is a new Bill, HB 1197
