At COCRS, we started with and specialize in property tax information. However, different states and markets change the names, details and formats of the information.
Many of the products we provide have very similar information. They come by various names, with different formatting, based on state and industry practices.
Insured Tax Certificates
Insured tax certificates are the primary product we provide. These products document the property taxes associated with a property and the paid status or balance due.
Depending on the state, the order options for the insured product type may be known as:
COCRS CTD
Certain Colorado counties have granted COCRS an Authorized Agent status, which allows us to obtain and maintain tax records to issue legally-binding Certificates of Taxes Due, as defined by state statues.
County CTD
Some areas require the county to issue tax certificates directly. These certificates are requested from and obtained from the county. Some of these can be obtained within minutes while others take the county offices hours or days to generate.
Validated Tax Certificate, Validated Tax Statement, Validated Tax Update
These Validated products contain information obtained from the county treasurer and/or designated tax collector(s). We summarize the gathered information on a standardized form for consistency and familiarity. For Pennsylvania statements, emails provide the collector originals for additional detail and ancillary information.
