Optionalcompliance
Owner of record is out-of-state. If you are the owner, ensure your county assessor has a current mailing address — undelivered tax bills are the most common precursor to tax-lien foreclosure.

The deal

What this parcel is worth, what encumbers it, and what its paper trail says — value, distress, listings, sales, and tax.

Distress signals

No distress filings on record for this parcel. We monitor county clerk recordings (NEDs, lis pendens, liens, judgements) and join them via fuzzy name match.

For sale

No active for-sale listings on record for this parcel. We track public-record foreclosure-sale lists (county Public Trustee) and attach them here when a sale is scheduled.

The land

What the ground itself is — cover, soils, buildability, water, minerals, and the public land around it.

Buildability

Construction feasibility synthesized across slope, soils, landslide & flood — the constraints a land buyer pays for, joined to one parcel.

Build constraint

Favorable

No significant build constraints in the data available for this parcel.

Partial coverage — based on the soil/geohazard layers present for this parcel; the read sharpens as those backfill.

Climate profile

Long-run climate normals at the parcel centroid, averaged over 2014–2023. Drives growing season & water for ranch/ag use, plus snow load for buildability.

Mean annual precipitation: 17.8 in
Mean annual snowfall: 73 inModerate snow load
Mean annual temperature: 39°F
Frost-free season: 142 days/yr(moderate growing season)

Source: Open-Meteo Historical Weather archive (ERA5 reanalysis), 2014–2023 daily normals. Frost-free days count days whose overnight low stayed above 32°F. The snow-load band is a buyer-facing heuristic from annual snowfall, not an engineered ground-snow-load design value — confirm with the local building department before relying on it.

Water rights

No water rights linked to this parcel. We spatially join CO Division of Water Resources records within 200m of the parcel centroid. Most non-agricultural mountain parcels have none on file.

Water wells (2)

2 permitted water wells fall within this parcel (primarily domestic). A permitted well is real, recorded water access from the CO Division of Water Resources — and on unbuilt rural land it is often the gating utility for buildability.

Permitted wells: 2
Primary use: Domestic
Max yield: 15 gpm
Deepest well: 300 ft
Most recent permit: 2010-09-16

Source: the Colorado Division of Water Resources well-permit registry (CDSS). These are WATER wells (domestic / irrigation / stock), not oil & gas wells. Descriptive, not legal advice — confirm the permit, decreed use, and yield with CO DWR before relying on them.

Oil & gas wells

No oil & gas wells within ½ mile of this parcel. Sourced from the Colorado Energy & Carbon Management Commission (ECMC) public registry.

Distance is measured to the nearest edge of each unit's bounding box (a fast approximation, not precise polygon containment). “Inside unit boundary” means the parcel centroid sits within the unit's bbox; verify against the unit's precise boundary before acting.

Federal mineral estate

Split estate · find more

This parcel's centroid sits inside 3 BLM-mapped federal mineral-estate polygons — meaning the federal government owns some or all of the minerals beneath this surface property (a “split estate”).

Mineral rights designation: No Minerals
Federal estate acres overlapping: 47,541

Source: BLM Colorado Federal Mineral Estate (Solid Colors). Split-estate ownership is common in the Western US — verify deed history and any mineral-rights conveyance/reservation before relying on this signal.
