Colorado 1031 Exchange FAQ

Common questions from Colorado investors

How does a 1031 exchange work in Colorado?
A 1031 exchange in Colorado follows the same IRS rules as anywhere in the U.S. You sell an investment property, a qualified intermediary holds the proceeds, you identify replacement properties within 45 days, and close within 180 days. Colorado taxes capital gains at a flat 4.4% rate.
Do I need a qualified intermediary in Colorado?
Yes. IRS rules require a qualified intermediary (QI) to facilitate your 1031 exchange. The QI holds your sale proceeds and ensures compliance with all deadlines. You cannot touch the funds yourself, or the exchange is disqualified. Talk to a certified QI today.
What properties qualify for a 1031 exchange in Colorado?
Any property held for investment or business use qualifies, including rental properties, ski condos, vacation rentals, and commercial real estate. Primary residences and fix-and-flip properties do not qualify. Your replacement property can be in any U.S. state — you're not limited to Colorado.
Can I exchange my Colorado property for one in another state?
Absolutely. 1031 exchanges allow you to sell in Colorado and buy replacement property anywhere in the United States. Many investors use this to diversify into different markets or move into passive investments like DSTs.
