When a writ of attachment or a writ of execution is issued from any district or county court and a levy is made on real estate, it is the duty of the sheriff or officer making the levy to file a certificate with the recorder of the county where the real estate is, causing the levy to take effect as to creditors and bona fide purchasers without notice and not before. (C.R.S. 13-56-101)

Writs of attachment and writs of execution may issue from any district or county court of any county to the sheriff or other proper officer of such county or any other county. (C.R.S. 13-56-102)
