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

Action plan for this parcel

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

    Recommendedrebate

    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.

Water well
A permitted water well is recorded at or near 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. 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.
