How this calculator works

This is a Colorado CCIOA resale disclosure compliance evaluator under CRS § 38-33.3-209. Given the disclosure type (status letter or full certificate), request date, delivery date, fee charged, closing date, and reference date, it returns:

The 14-calendar-day delivery deadline.
Whether documents were delivered on time.
Whether the fee is within the CRS § 38-33.3-209(1) cap ($150 / $500).
The 3-calendar-day buyer cancellation deadline after receipt.
Overall disclosure status.

Colorado's unique two-tier disclosure system

Colorado is the only state on this platform with a two-tier resale disclosure system:

Tier 1 — Status Letter (CRS § 38-33.3-209(1)(a)). A limited current-status document covering: assessments owed on the unit, pending violations, pending legal actions involving the unit, and other current-position items. Fee cap: $150. Useful for buyers who need a quick current-status snapshot without the full governing-documents package.

Tier 2 — Full Resale Certificate (CRS § 38-33.3-209(1)(b)). The complete disclosure package: CC&Rs, bylaws, rules, most recent financial statements, reserve study, insurance certificates, pending litigation disclosure, prior 12 months of meeting minutes, and any other disclosures required by the declaration. Fee cap: $500 (also the total cap for all fees in a single transaction). Required for full due diligence.

Both tiers carry the same 14-day delivery deadline and $500 total fee cap.

Buyer cancellation right — 3 days (shorter than Nevada)

Under CRS § 38-33.3-209(2), the buyer has 3 calendar days after receipt of the disclosure to cancel the purchase agreement without penalty. This is:

Shorter than Nevada's 5-day window (NRS 116.4109(5))
Shorter than Arizona's 5-day window
Comparable to Florida's 3-day condo window

The 3-day window starts on ACTUAL RECEIPT — not the mailing or send date. For electronic delivery, associations and management companies should use a read-receipt or delivery-confirmation method to document when the buyer received the disclosure.

CRS § 38-33.3-209 (CCIOA resale disclosure; two-tier system; 14-day delivery; $150/$500 fee caps; 3-day buyer cancellation right).
CRS § 38-33.3-101 et seq. (Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act — CCIOA).

Colorado is unique among the states on this platform in offering two distinct disclosure tiers under CRS § 38-33.3-209: a STATUS LETTER and a FULL RESALE CERTIFICATE. The status letter is a limited, current-status document that covers assessments owed, pending violations, and similar current-position items — capped at $150. The full resale certificate is the complete disclosure package (governing documents, financials, reserve study, insurance, pending litigation) — capped at $500. Most other states (Arizona, Nevada, Florida, Texas) offer only a single-tier resale package. Colorado's tiered system allows buyers to order only the status letter for lower-cost transactions or shorter due-diligence windows, and order the full certificate when full diligence is warranted.

Colorado gives the buyer 3 calendar days after receipt to cancel the purchase agreement without penalty under CRS § 38-33.3-209(2). This is shorter than Nevada's 5-day window (NRS 116.4109(5)) and comparable to Florida's 3-day window (Fla. Stat. 718.503 for condos). Arizona also provides 5 days (ARS § 33-1806.01). Colorado's 3-day window starts on ACTUAL RECEIPT — not on the mailing or delivery date for electronic transmission. Sellers and associations must document the delivery method and time to establish when the cancellation window starts.

CRS § 38-33.3-209(1) caps total fees at $500 for the complete disclosure package, regardless of whether the buyer requests the status letter and the full certificate separately. If the association charges $150 for the status letter and $500 for the full certificate, the combined fee of $650 would exceed the $500 total cap. In practice, the total-fee cap means associations cannot charge for both tiers when both are ordered for the same transaction; the maximum they may recover is $500. This is lower than Nevada's $500 cap (for expedited service) and Florida's cap (which varies by type of association).

If the association fails to deliver the requested disclosure within 14 calendar days of the written request, the buyer may exercise the CRS § 38-33.3-209(2) cancellation right without having received the disclosure — the failure to deliver within 14 days is itself a condition that triggers the cancellation right. Additionally, the buyer may have a claim against the seller under the purchase agreement if the seller failed to arrange timely delivery. Buyers and real estate agents should track the 14-day deadline carefully; submitting the request early in the due-diligence period (Week 1 of a 30-day contract) allows time for delivery, review, and possible re-negotiation before the inspection-objection deadline.
