    Across state, county, and local sponsors — up to $1,000 stackable. Includes Aspen Fire Protection District Chipper Day; Colorado Wildfire Mitigation Income Tax Credit; Forest Restoration and Wildfire Risk Mitigation (FRWRM) Grant.

    Verify owner mailing address is current

    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.

Acrescope presents data and surfaces actions — it does not provide financial, legal, tax, or insurance advice. Confirm with a qualified professional before incurring costs.

Why this differs from the assessor value above: Colorado assesses agricultural-classified land on grazing productivity (ag-use value), typically ~30–40× below market. This estimate instead applies the county median $/acre from clean single-parcel arms-length ag sales (bulk multi-parcel deeds, government/exempt land, and nominal transfers excluded). An estimate, not an appraisal.

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

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”).

  • FEMA Elevation CertificateA licensed surveyor produces an EC documenting the first-floor elevation relative to base flood elevation. Often reduces NFIP premium significantly; required for some private flood carriers.
  • Compare NFIP vs private flood policiesPrivate flood insurance has expanded since 2019; for some SFHA properties it under-prices NFIP by 30-50% with broader coverage limits.
