Know what a parcel really is before you’re committed to it.
One document that compiles everything Colorado’s public records say about a single parcel — water, minerals, hazards, distress, ownership, and value — with every claim sourced and every gap admitted. Written to be read the week you’re deciding.
One-time. No subscription, no account required.
Reports are parcel-specific — start by finding the property, then open its report. The sample is a live report on a real Colorado parcel, not a mockup.

The four questions that decide a mountain parcel
These are the ones that cost money when they're answered late. The report leads with them.
Is the water real?
Decreed rights with priority dates and seniority rank, storage and flow amounts, plus a well-permit feasibility read from Colorado’s exempt-well rules and the parcel’s acreage.
Who owns underneath?
Federal mineral estate, oil & gas wells within a half mile, and BLM leases — the split-estate picture a standard title search leaves out unless you know to request a mineral abstract.
Can I insure it?
Wildfire building-damage tier, burn-footprint history, FEMA flood zone, and an insurability outlook framed against the Colorado FAIR Plan — the question that now decides deals in the foothills.
Can I build and get there?
Soils and septic feasibility, mapped geohazards, slope and land cover, emergency-services drive time, and the access and easement questions to verify before closing.
Read five real reports before you spend a dollar
Live reports on real Colorado parcels — one for each way a parcel can surprise you. No gate, no email, no mockups.
357 acres, ten decreed water rights, entity ownership, burn-adjacent — every domain populated.
Active distress filings behind an entity owner — the "who really owns it, and are they in trouble" question answered from the record.
A Very-High damage-potential tier and what it means for insurability — cited to the state forest service dataset.
A FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area intersection — the finding a lender will ask about first.
No water right on record — and why "no record located" is a finding, not a blank.
$99 against the rest of the diligence invoice
The report costs less than a third of one hour with the water attorney it tells you whether you need.
Illustrative rounded figures from published Colorado rate surveys and typical 2025–26 quotes — not quotes for your parcel, and priced work varies by county and scope. Shown for scale only: the report does not replace a survey, a title search, or counsel. It tells you which ones this parcel actually needs.
What’s inside
Eight sections, in the order a buyer actually needs them — the answer first, the evidence after, the appendix last.
- 1Verdict & action planThe answer first — what this parcel is, what matters most, and what to do next.
- 2Recommended diligenceThe specific public records to pull, and why each one matters for this parcel.
- 3Property & valuationComp-based estimate with the actual comparable sales behind it, sale history, land cover.
- 4Land & stewardshipSoil productivity, regenerative potential, grazing and conservation-easement context.
- 5Water & subsurfaceDecree detail by seniority, well-permit feasibility, mineral estate and wells.
- 6Climate & hazardsWildfire, flood, geohazards, active fire proximity, and the insurability outlook.
- 7Distress & ownershipFilings on record, the owning entity, and the wider owner network.
- 8Sources & methodologyEvery datum cited to its originating office, with a dated freshness stamp and the PDF.
What this is not
The fastest way to lose your trust would be a confident number from a model that won't show its work. So the report shows its work — and says where the record runs out.
- Not an appraisal
- Directional
- Comp estimates come from clean single-parcel arms-length sales, and say so — including when a county has none.
- Not predictive
- Descriptive
- It reports what the record says today. It does not forecast fire, price, or risk.
- Not legal advice
- Verify at source
- Every datum cites its originating office so you or your attorney can confirm it.
Compiled from county assessor and clerk & recorder records, the Colorado Division of Water Resources, ECMC oil & gas data, BLM mineral estate, FEMA flood mapping, Colorado State Forest Service wildfire scoring, NIFC fire perimeters, USDA soils, and Secretary of State entity filings. Colorado assesses agricultural land at use-value, which understates ranch and farm parcels — the report flags this rather than quietly reporting a low number.
