The CTD Portal is for Title Companies, Title Insurance Providers or direct Settlement Companies to obtain Tax Certificates for their closings in an ‘on demand’ platform.
A 'Certificate of Taxes Due' or 'Certificate of Financial Condition' is an official document that states the current status of taxes for the requested property.
The cost to obtain a Certificate of Taxes Due (CTD) is $10.00 per certificate.

Not all property records are public record.
The State of Colorado acknowledges that certain professions may necessitate an enhanced level of anonymity due to the increasing availability of information online. Eligible property owners have the option to file for a privacy block, which restricts the distribution of their ownership information through electronic channels, except for authorized Title Companies or Title Insurance Providers.
Restricting access to this portal to qualifying companies enables the County to comply with state-mandated protections while still facilitating the convenient, on-demand production of tax certificates.
A Tax Certificate will:
- Reflect the current status of the property taxes, including any future-billed Special Assessments. The website will only reflect the current billing cycle’s information and does not always reflect prior years or future years balances.
- When signed by the treasurer, such certificate, showing payment of all taxes due and the redemption of all outstanding tax sales, shall be conclusive evidence for all purposes and against all persons that the parcel of real property or mobile home therein described was, at the time, free and clear of all property taxes due to the county.
- Any loss resulting to any person from an error in a tax certificate issued by the Treasurer shall be paid by El Paso County.
