Colorado Live Bidding and Reports
This article only applies to Colorado live bidding. Other states may have a different type of live bidding. The Live Bidding page will be available when the live bidding begins for that specific county. For upcoming auction dates and times, please check out the following link: Upcoming Auctions. Also, live bidding will continue until all parcels are auctioned off. This typically excludes weekends and holidays. Each parcel will be auctioned off one at a time in 30-second intervals. They will be auctioned in the order that they are listed on the auctions page. If a bid is placed with 10 seconds or less left on the clock, the clock will reset to 10 seconds. This prevents bidders from trying to snipe a last-second bid to win.
Follow these steps to bid during the live auction:
1. Log in and click on the Live Bidding tab.
2. Wait for the parcel you want to bid on to come up for auction.
3. Place your Max Overbid amount in the "Place Bid" box.
4. Another option is to add $5 to the current overbid amount with the "+$5 Quick Bid" button.
5. View your screen to see if you are winning or if you have been outbid.
6. The total purchase amount would be the current winning overbid + the face value amount.
