ANNOTATION
Claimant's rights unaffected by change in form of res. When the condemnor pays the amount of the award for the condemned property into the registry of the court, the change of the form of the res from property to money does not affect the relative rights of the owner and other claimants in the res. Southworth v. Dept. of Hwys., 176 Colo. 82, 489 P.2d 204 (1971).
Payment of award into court discharges further tax obligation. Where the state highway department paid into court the amount of an award in condemnation proceedings, it discharged its obligation and was relieved of further responsibility for an unpaid city tax lien assessed for the creation of a local public improvement district.
