If your property is part of a previously platted subdivision or division, there will be a plat on file with the Clerk and Recorders Office at (303) 679-2339 . These plats may be viewed by the public during business hours and will show the location of the surveyor’s pins which mark the property boundaries. Property owners may also look for these pins on their property to determine existing property boundaries. If not previously recorded plats exist and no pins can be found, property owners may choose to have their property surveyed by a Professional Land Surveyor.
