What the records show

What the records do not establish

• Tax bill amounts were not retrieved.Where a human would look: the county Treasurer's tax inquiry, searched by parcel.
• Permit attachments and inspection results were not retrieved; only permit headers were read.Montrose County Permit Portal [4]Where a human would look: the permit portal, opening each record and its attachments.
• The well/septic file does not establish whether the property is currently connected to public water or sewer.Montrose County Health Department — well and septic records [5]Where a human would look: the local Health Department file and the utility provider serving the parcel.
• The recorded instrument index is not a title examination and does not establish whether additional easements, covenants, liens, judgments, or other interests affect the property.Montrose County Circuit Clerk — recorded instruments index [6]Where a human would look: the Circuit Clerk index and the recorded instruments, reviewed by a qualified title professional.
• The mapped zoning district does not by itself establish that a proposed use is permitted or that all conditions have been satisfied.Montrose County GIS — Parcels and land use [1]Where a human would look: the current zoning ordinance and any associated case or approval documents.
• No base flood elevation is published for this polygon in the county product.Where a human would look: the flood insurance study profile for this stream reach.
• Flood status was determined from a single point at the parcel centroid, not from the parcel boundary. Part of a parcel can lie in a flood zone while its centroid does not.Where a human would look: the flood map panel compared against the recorded plat.
• No wetlands inventory polygon covers the parcel centroid. The inventory is a remote-sensing product and is not a jurisdictional wetland determination; absence here does not establish that no wetlands are present on the parcel.National wetlands inventory (illustrative) [8]Where a human would look: a delineation by a qualified wetland professional.

• Zoning district is R-2 — read the district's ordinance section: <https://records.montrose-county.example.invalid/zoning-ordinance/r-2>. Confirm the intended use is permitted in this district.Why this appearsstanding rule: every brief states the zoning district and links its ordinance section
• Ask the Health Department and utility provider to confirm what the PSSD-2011-0042 file and current service records establish about water and sewage service.Why this appearsprivate-system record found, connection status not established
