Action plan for this parcel

Prioritized recommendations derived from this parcel's patterns, applicable rebates, and county-level context.
  1. 1.

    2 rebate programs match this address

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

  2. 2.

    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.

The deal

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

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.

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.

Water wells (10)
10 permitted water wells are recorded at or near this parcel (primarily irrigation). 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.

Most recent permit

Source: the Colorado Division of Water Resources well-permit registry (CDSS). These are WATER wells (domestic / irrigation / stock), not oil & gas wells. Wells are matched to the parcel by proximity to its centroid, not by surveyed boundary — a well listed here can sit on an adjacent parcel. Descriptive, not legal advice — confirm the permit location, 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 6 BLM-mapped federal mineral-estate polygons — meaning the federal government owns some or all of the minerals beneath this surface property (a “split estate”).
