Action plan for this parcel

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

    Verify mineral severance vs surface-only ownership

    Criticalminerals

    0 producing wells on the parcel. In CO, surface and mineral rights are commonly severed — pull deed history to confirm what's actually owned. If minerals are reserved to a prior owner, royalties flow to them; if conveyed with surface, royalties + lease bonuses go to the current owner.

  2. 2.

    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.

  3. 3.

    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 snow-load band is a buyer-facing heuristic from annual snowfall, not an engineered ground-snow-load design value — confirm with the local building department before relying on it.

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 wells (2)
2 permitted water wells fall 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.

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

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”).

Geohazards
Radon zone is an EPA county-level rating — most Colorado mountain counties are Zone 1 (the highest tier), so testing is recommended on any build. The nearest mapped Quaternary fault is shown for context; Colorado’s Quaternary faults are sparse and largely low-slip-rate.
EPA radon zone
Zone 2 — moderate potential (2–4 pCi/L)

Sources: Colorado Geological Survey statewide Landslide Inventory (mapped deposits, not a debris-flow susceptibility model), the EPA Map of Radon Zones (county-level), and the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database. Descriptive, not legal or engineering advice — confirm slope stability, radon, and seismic conditions with a qualified professional before acting.
