Colorado Revised Statutes Title 24. Government State § 24-35-117. Public list of delinquent state taxes

(1) Notwithstanding any provision of law, the executive director of the department of revenue shall annually disclose a list of all taxpayers, including but not limited to individuals, trusts, partnerships, corporations, and other taxable entities, that are delinquent in the payment of tax liabilities collected by the department. The list shall include only those taxpayers with total delinquent final liabilities for all taxes collected by the department, including penalties and interest, in an amount greater than twenty thousand dollars for a period of six months from the time that a distraint warrant issues or may issue. The list shall contain the name, address, types of taxes, month and year in which each tax liability was asserted in a duly issued distraint warrant, the amount of each tax outstanding of each delinquent taxpayer, and, in the case of a corporate taxpayer, the name of the current president of record of the corporation.

(2) At least ninety days before the disclosure of the name of a delinquent taxpayer prescribed in subsection (1) of this section, the executive director of the department of revenue shall mail a written notice to the delinquent taxpayer at his or her last known address informing the taxpayer that the failure to cure the tax delinquency could result in the taxpayer's name being included in a list of delinquent taxpayers that is published on the internet on the website maintained by the department pursuant to this section. If the delinquent tax has not been paid sixty days after the notice was mailed, and the taxpayer has not, since the mailing of the notice, either entered into a written agreement with the department for payment of the delinquency or corrected a default in an existing agreement to the satisfaction of the executive director, the executive director may disclose the tax in the list of delinquent taxpayers.

(3) Unpaid taxes shall not be deemed to be delinquent and subject to disclosure if:

(4) The list described in subsection (1) of this section shall be available for public inspection at the department of revenue and shall be published on the internet on the website maintained by the department.

(5) The name of a taxpayer shall be removed within fifteen days after the payment of the debt.

(6) Any disclosure made by the executive director of the department of revenue in a good faith effort to comply with this section shall not be considered a violation of any statute prohibiting disclosure of taxpayer information.
