But what happens when the CTD is **incomplete, unclear, or doesn’t match the property’s actual tax status**? For title companies, these inconsistencies can delay closings, create liability, and frustrate clients. Here’s how to spot the red flags—and how COCRS can help you resolve them fast. --- ### 🔍 Common CTD Issues Title Companies Encounter 1. **Mismatched Parcel Numbers or Legal Descriptions** CTDs sometimes reference outdated or incorrect parcel data—especially in subdivided or recently reassessed properties. 2. **Missing Special Assessments or Liens** Not all counties include special district assessments or pending liens on the CTD. These omissions can lead to post-closing surprises. 3. **Deferred Taxes Not Clearly Disclosed** With Colorado’s expanded deferral programs, some taxes may be postponed but still accrue as liens. These aren’t always obvious on the CTD. 4. **Timing Gaps** CTDs reflect taxes due at the time of issuance—but if the closing is delayed or spans a new tax cycle, the data may no longer be current. --- ### 🛠️ What Title Companies Can Do - **Double-check parcel and legal descriptions** against the assessor’s and treasurer’s records. - **Request clarification** from the county treasurer if the CTD seems incomplete. - **Search for additional liens** or assessments that may not appear on the CTD. - **Document all findings** to protect your file and reduce liability. But all of this takes time—and when you’re juggling multiple closings, time is in short supply. --- ### ✅ How COCRS Solves the Problem At COCRS, we specialize in **identifying and resolving CTD discrepancies** before they become closing issues.
