Needs review means a record exists that requires verification. No record means nothing is on file — which is not an all-clear.

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
Moderate
  • FEMA special flood hazard area

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

Water security
Decreed surface-water rights & seniority synthesized into one prior-appropriation read — the water question a ranch or land buyer leads with.
Water security
Vulnerable

No decreed water rights on record — on-site water would rely on a well permit or hauled water. A real constraint in a drought- or fire-exposed area.

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 well
A permitted water well falls 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.

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”).
