Colorado Tag Surrender Question

[T Chris]

If I draw a Colorado second choice tag and decide to surrender it within the grace period, can I still get a preference point (and my money refunded)? I know if it’s a first choice, you get your money back, but don’t accrue a point for that year. It’s not clear to me though on second choice. I think the answer is yes, but looking to the collective wisdom and experience here

Yes, if you earned a point by not drawing your first choice or by using the PP code, you will retain that point if you surrender the 2nd choice license.

You gain a preference point if you are unsuccessful in your first choice but draw a second choice tag. You only lose preference points if you draw a first-choice tag. If you return a tag, you get your money refunded.

Thanks! I’m trying to provide some wiggle room since I’m anticipating several successful draw results in New Mexico later in April
