File NWR-13 / Services / Five of them
What we pull, and how far we go
Five services, one desk, four counties. Everything below is records work: we ask the office that holds the record, track the answer, and write it down so you can use it.
Property and permit records
Recording and permit history for mountain property, from Avon and Eagle through Vail, Minturn, Edwards and Eagle County. Deeds and transfer history, building and land-use permits, assessor parcel data, zoning and overlay records where the index carries them.
You get the timeline of the parcel: what was filed, when, by whom, and which document shows each step. Useful before a closing, a remodel, or an argument with a neighbor about what was approved.
Water right and ditch index research
Index-level research on water rights, ditch companies and the related filings that show up against mountain parcels. In this part of Colorado the water paper is older than the towns, and it still decides what a parcel can do.
We report what the indexes list against the parcel or the company, with the source of every entry. We do not interpret decrees or advise on water law; that is an attorney's work.
Business license lookups
Town and county license listings for a business, including status exactly as the issuing office publishes it. Before you sign a contract with an outfit in a resort town, know whether the town's own list shows it as licensed.
We check the offices that issue, not aggregators that guess. If a town does not publish a listing, we say so rather than dressing up a maybe.
Short-term rental filing indexes
Where a town publishes license or filing indexes for short-term rentals, we pull what is listed against an address. Neighbors, buyers, managers and anyone tired of wondering whether the place next door is on the town's list.
Publishing varies town by town. We report what is published against the address, and when nothing is published, that is the report.
A straight answer when there is nothing
If a record is not held, we say so in writing and explain what we checked, so you stop paying for searches that will not pay off. A documented dead end is a result. It closes questions instead of feeding them.
This is the service the name comes from. No hot air, no hedging: either here is the record and its source, or here is the list of offices and indexes we searched and the record is not there.
Record types
Eight kinds of paper we chase
- Recorded documents
- Building and land-use permits
- Water right indexes
- Ditch company filings
- Town business licenses
- Short-term rental listings
- Assessor parcel data
- Zoning and overlay records
If your question lives in one of these, in Eagle, Summit, Pitkin or Garfield county, we can work it. If it lives somewhere else, ask anyway and we will tell you straight whether it is ours to do.
How it runs
Four steps, in order
-
You ask
Email, phone or the form on the contact page. An address, a parcel, a business name or a plain question is enough to start.
-
We find the custodian
Which office holds the record, which index it sits in, and how far back that index runs.
-
We request and track
The request goes in through the channel the office actually monitors. If the office goes quiet, we chase it.
-
You get the answer
In writing, in plain language, with the source of every line. Including the answer that says nothing exists.
The report
What lands in your inbox
A written summary of what the records show. Every line carries its source: the office, the index, the document. Gaps are listed, not hidden, and dead ends are documented with what we checked.
Certified copies come from the custodian that holds the record. We report what the index shows; we are not a law firm and we do not give legal advice.
