Colorado Revised Statutes Title 38. Property Real and Personal § 38-6-120. Review--deposit--possession

Upon the final determination of any proceeding under this part 1, appeal shall lie in every case to bring into review the proceedings therein. If the owner of any property taken or affected appeals, the petitioner may pay into the registry of said court the amount of compensation awarded therefor, for the use of said owner, and shall thereupon be entitled to take possession of and use the property taken or affected the same as if no appeal had been taken. The money so deposited shall remain on deposit until the appeal has been heard and determined. If any owner elects to receive such amount before the determination of such appeal, said appeal shall thereupon be dismissed so far as such owner is concerned.
