    2 rebate programs match this address

    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.

    Pull the water-right ownership chain

    Recommendedwater

    This parcel has 3 senior water rights (oldest priority 1896). Verify ownership chain via the CO Division of Water Resources — senior rights conveyed with the parcel are worth materially more than unbundled values suggest.

  3. 3.

    Verify augmentation plans + diligence on the priority date

    Recommendedwater

    3 water rights with oldest priority 1896. In Colorado's prior-appropriation system, this puts the parcel near the front of the call line in dry years — verify augmentation plan membership and any pending change-of-use applications.

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.
