Service Liens

If using a credit or debit card to pay your property taxes online or in-person, a 2.5% service fee will apply. To avoid paying the service fee, you can pay online via electronic check.

If you would like to remit payment via mail (USPS), please print out a copy of your statement and include the coupon for the payment deadline you are remitting payment for when mailing. To avoid delays in processing, please cut a clean line above the “detach here” message to ensure your payment is processed in a timely manner. Payments will be honored by postmark date only.

If you have received a delinquent statement that you believe to be in error, please email propertytaxinfo@denvergov.org with your Parcel ID, property address, payment dates, amounts, and check numbers.

For those with business bank accounts only: If your business or organization has chosen to use a debit filter or blocker on a bank account used to make electronic check/EFT payments to the city, Denver's company ID has changed.

Denver's new company ID number is now 9990008222. The old ID number was 9110652400. If this company ID is not updated with your bank, electronic checks/EFT's may be returned as "Not Authorized," and payment will need to be reissued with the new company ID. If you have any questions, please contact us via email at Cashand.InvestmentAdministration@denvergov.org.

On the Service Lien notice there is a Figures good until date. After this date, additional interest may accrue and the amount shown in your lien online may not match the billing received. We encourage you respond to the lien notice on or before the "Figures Good Until date" to avoid additional fees.

You can pay any service lien in the same transaction as your property tax payment. Service liens are not allowed to be split into installments like the property taxes due (i.e. a  1^st half /2^nd half option). These lien payments are due in full. 

Service lien delinquencies will continue to accrue interest and fees. Those that remain unpaid as of November of each year are sold at a tax lien sale. The City Treasurer will then file a tax lien against the property. If the tax lien and interest is not settled within three years from the date the tax lien is filed, title to the property may be lost to a Treasurer's Deed.

For more information on the types of liens you may be billed for, please see the site listed below. Many agencies and programs refer over past due amounts to the Treasury office for lien billing, below are some of the most common.

• Sidewalk Program
• Storm Drainage
• Sanitary Sewer
• Trash
• Forestry

For other services liens not listed, please contact the agency or program who has referred the service lien to Treasury. Treasury is responsible for billing and collecting the payment for a service lien once it has been referred by the issuing authority, but is unable to answer any questions related to the specific debt details or account information. For that information you must contact the agency or program referring the service lien to Treasury.

Once you have a lien billing from Treasury, please follow the steps above to resolve it in advance of the tax lien sale process.
