The Treasurer’s Office distributes all collected revenue to each taxing authority on a monthly basis and provides those financial reports to the public, so residents can see exactly how funds are shared and used.
All disbursements are statutorily paid out on the 10th of the month following the closed collection period. (Ex: all January collections will be paid out on February 10th.)
The El Paso County Treasurer’s Office issues refund checks for property tax overpayments, duplicate payments, approved abatements or petitions, and other payment-related adjustments. Occasionally, these checks are not deposited or claimed by the recipient. Our office makes every good-faith effort to contact the owner of the uncashed funds but is not always able to secure a response.
Below is a list of currently stale-dated checks held by the El Paso County Treasurer’s Office. These funds are legally payable only to the intended recipient or their authorized representative. The Treasurer’s Office does not hold any other excess or surplus funds beyond those resulting from a property tax payment transaction.
Unclaimed funds are ultimately transferred to the State of Colorado and may be searched through the Great Colorado Payback.
