Dolores County Lists Delinquent Properties for Tax Lien Sales in April 2026

Three Dove Creek addresses tied to Timothy Michael Meyer and Shelley J Poole moved past a February 25 continuance without resolution, with the Dolores County Treasurer and Public Trustee advancing those proceedings to April 29. A fourth county parcel, associated with Melissa Kawalick, is listed for a separate sale on April 15. Both dates fall inside the same three-week stretch, with all county tax enforcement actions conducted in person at the Dolores County Courthouse, 409 N. Main Street, Dove Creek.

The Meyer and Poole entries cover multiple distinct parcels inside Dove Creek's city limits: 315 W. Highway 491 and 322 W. 4th Street, a second property at 419 W. Highway 491, and a third at 303 W. Third Street. Each appeared in earlier county listings under a February 25 continuance date before the Treasurer's public notices page was updated to reflect April 29 as the active date.

Property owners named in a tax lien notice retain the right to redeem by paying all outstanding taxes, penalties, and accrued fees before the scheduled sale. The deadline for the April 15 Kawalick entry is the close of business on April 14. For the Meyer and Poole entries, the window closes at 2 p.m. on April 28. The Treasurer's office at 409 N. Main Street handles redemption inquiries at 970-677-2386.

Any certificate sold at either auction carries a 14 percent annual interest rate, fixed under Colorado statute, accruing from the purchase date against the original delinquency. The lien holder can apply for a Treasurer's Deed no sooner than three years after acquiring the certificate; if the balance remains unpaid at that point, the property itself becomes subject to public auction.

Prospective buyers must register with the Treasurer's office before 2 p.m. the day preceding any scheduled sale. Under Colorado law, the delinquent list must also be published in a local newspaper for three consecutive weeks before any auction proceeds, and the county updates continuance dates on the Treasurer and Public Trustee's online notices page as proceedings advance.

For three parcels in the county seat of a county with fewer than 2,100 residents that have already passed one scheduled date without resolution, April 29 represents a harder stop.
