Accuracy of Property Data in
Advertisements, including Property Databases
Commission Rule 6.10.C states that brokerage firms and brokers are responsible for ensuring that all advertising is accurate and complies with copyright laws and other applicable laws and regulations. This includes the information about a property that is entered into a property database like a multiple listing service (“MLS”). If a broker relies on an assistant to create advertising materials, or to enter the property data into the MLS on their behalf, the broker is still responsible for the accuracy of the information.
New Mortgage Loan Originator Handbook
From time to time, the Division shares practice guidance handbooks for practitioners of regulated industries to help advance their careers. With the new year, the Division would like to present the New Mortgage Loan Originator Handbook.
Like other handbooks, this handbook is carefully designed to provide basic compliance requirements and provide the practitioner key resources and tools. The handbook also addresses how mortgage loan originators can participate in the regulatory framework.

Colorado Division of Water Resources Introduces the eForm Dashboard
Colorado Division of Water Resources Introduces the eForm Dashboard
Real estate licensees should be aware that the Colorado Division of Water Resources has released a new eForm tool which is an online system that replaces the paper or email submission to change the owner's name and contact information as listed in the State's water well database. The Division of Water Resources released the eForm on August 1, 2022 and discontinued accepting the old version of the name change form on October 1, 2022.
There are different versions of the name change eForm, depending on who is filing the form. One version is for use by the well owner, and the other is for use by title companies that are filing as part of a real estate transaction. Only one version of the eForm needs to be filed (either by the well owner or the title company). The eForms can be accessed from the eForm Dashboard on the Division of Water Resources website at this link.

Long Term Rental Requirements In Denver County
Long Term Rental Requirements In Denver County
Those of you that rent properties in Denver County should already be familiar with short-term rental regulations and license requirements. Denver County is not the only local government that has ordinances that pertain to short-term rentals either. Whether you are a landlord or a real estate practitioner, you will benefit from reviewing and understanding your local laws.
After you get a grasp of short-term rental laws, Denver landlords and real estate practitioners must also familiarize themselves with the newly implemented long-term rental laws which are taking effect in two different phases.
The first phase is effective on January 1, 2023 and applies to a person offering, providing, or operating a "residential rental property consisting of two (2) or more dwelling units on a parcel under that person's ownership" and requires them to first obtain a license for that residential rental property.
The second phase then takes effect on January 1, 2024. It requires the same as the first phase, except a license is required for a residential rental property of a single dwelling unit.
These requirements are set forth in Sections 27-191 through 27-202 of the Denver revised Municipal Code.
