How Title Insurance Rates Work in Colorado
Unlike other types of insurance, title insurance is a one-time fee paid at closing. It protects buyers and lenders against ownership issues such as liens, fraud, or clerical errors.
In Colorado:
Rates are regulated by the Colorado Division of Insurance.
Costs are consistent statewide, no matter which title company you choose.
Fees must be disclosed in the closing statement, ensuring transparency.
Typical Title Insurance Rates in Colorado
Owner’s Policy: Usually $1,000–$2,000 depending on the home’s purchase price.
Lender’s Policy: A few hundred dollars, based on the loan amount.
One-Time Payment: Coverage lasts as long as you own the property.
For example, on a $500,000 home, an owner’s policy might cost around $1,500.
