Escrow & Title

In Colorado, a 'notice of lis pendens' can be removed from the title by:

AA. The property owner unilaterally
BB. Court order dismissing the litigation, settlement of the lawsuit, or filing a release signed by the party who filed it✓ Correct
CC. Paying the filing fee to the county clerk
DD. Only by the attorney who filed it, without court involvement

Explanation

A lis pendens is removed when the underlying litigation is resolved: the lawsuit is dismissed (court order dismissing the case), settled (with a release filed by the claimant), or judgment is entered in favor of the property owner. The property owner cannot simply remove it unilaterally — it requires legal action or the claimant's voluntary release.
