A Deputy Sheriff Sergeant or staff member, from the Denver Sheriff Department Civil Unit, will be conducting the Sheriff Foreclosure sales. Arguing with the Deputy Sheriff, or any staff member, will not be tolerated. The Deputy Sheriff or staff member may, for good cause, exclude individuals from a sale.

Bidders will be required to register at the time of sale and each bidder will be assigned a bidder number. Oral bids will be taken in the order of the assigned bid numbers. If a bidder passes, that bidder is considered to have withdrawn from the sale.

Any legal objections must be directed to the Denver District Court.
