2016 Annual Report
- Public Trustee System
- Current Trends in Foreclosures and Releases
- Report on Operations and Finances
Public Trustee System
- Judicial States (mostly in East)
– Borrower promises to repay loan – Lender goes to court to claim property if default
- Trustee States (mostly in West)
- Trustee States (mostly in West)
– Borrower promises to replay loan – Borrower also grants lender a lien on property – When loan paid, lender asks trustee to release lien – If loan in default, lender asks trustee to foreclose
Public Trustee System
- Public Trustee System unique to Colorado
– Other states use Private Trustees
- Private Trustee works for the foreclosing lender
- Can be replaced at will by the lender
- Can be replaced at will by the lender
- Trustees work statewide – office 100s of miles away
– Public Trustee (PT) is neutral and accessible
- Created in 1894 by legislature to protect property rights
- One per county, so accessible to borrowers
- Work for the citizens, so no bias towards lender
Public Trustee System
- Ten large counties, 71% of work
– PTs appointed by and report to Governor
- Prepare budget under Title 24
- Annual audit, quarterly reports to BoCCs & Governor
- Subject to removal at Governor’s discretion
- Subject to removal at Governor’s discretion
– Legislature has increased the number over the years
- 53 smaller counties, 18% of work
– Treasurer also serves as Public Trustee – Not enough work to justify a separate office – Same reporting & budgeting rules apply
- In Denver, elected Clerk is Public Trustee
PTs and Counties
- PT Offices statutorily separate from County
– Separate budget and finances from County – Provide quarterly reports to BoCC – Revenue in excess of expenses sent to County
- Models of association
– Small counties co-locate PT as division of Treasurer – Mostly separate: Arapahoe, Boulder, Larimer, Pueblo, Weld – Cooperative: Adams, Douglas, El Paso, Jefferson, Mesa
- PT in county building, PT pays for services (CAP, payroll, benefits)
- Saves PT costs, increases County revenue & cash flow
- EPC PT: 4 FT Deputies
Public Trustee Process
- If default occurs, lender files demand thru atty
– We ensure state law followed by lender – Set initial sale date 110-125 days – Mail interested parties notice of sale and rights – Publish notice of sale in a local newspaper – Manage borrower’s right to cure default – Answer borrower questions about foreclosure – Sell at public auction, Wednesdays at 10 a.m.
- If debt paid off, lender requests release of lien
– Review filing for accuracy, so title will clear – Ensure compliance with legal requirements for release
