A Colorado Resort Fee is an additional county recording charge applied when recording real estate documents for properties located within a county-designated resort area (often mountain or ski-resort regions). Some Colorado counties classify portions of their jurisdiction as “resort areas” because of increased administrative costs associated with high-value or high-volume real estate activity. The fee helps cover county processing, maintenance, and record-keeping costs.
Counties commonly associated with this fee

Why it matters to LodeStar or settlement quoting
Title companies and quoting engines list it because it can materially change the recording fee total, and it is location-dependent, not document-dependent.
