- Colorado has only a nominal state documentary fee of $0.01 per $100 of sale price — but several ski-resort municipalities impose much higher local transfer taxes.
- Sellers in resort communities like Aspen (1.5%), Vail (1%), and Telluride (3%) should budget for those local transfer taxes, which can dwarf typical closing costs.
- Closings are commonly handled by title companies; attorney involvement is optional.
