The City of Denver is suing the owner of Your Mom's House, the business that operated the venue, and the State of Colorado for $30,228.35 in surplus funds raised from the auction. The City alleges that these funds are owed to owner/YMH operator Jillian Johnson, who failed to pay all taxes the city claimed she owed. Both parties have stated that the surplus cash raised from this auction should be returned to the taxpayer. The city is seeking a declaration from the Denver District Court regarding the disposition of these surplus funds.
