Property Management & Land Acquisition

The Property Management Division performs a variety of duties related to real property matters and performs technical reviews of all land development applications within the City. The Division is responsible for any acquisition of land or real property interests necessary to meet the needs of the City or the citizens including land for parks, open space, city facilities, rights-of-way, easements and license agreements. These duties also include any leases or lease purchases. The Division also provides technical assistance to the Department of Community Planning and Development in the review of subdivisions, annexations, site plans and other land use applications as they relate to legal descriptions, drawing requirements, signature authorizations and verification.

The Division creates, maintains, and updates data files for all real property matters, including development-related cases and all City land acquisitions. Using the data files, maps, the City's mainframe computer geobase and internally generated geographic mapping of real property matters, the Division responds to multiple weekly internal and external requests for information regarding City land matters. This internally generated mapping of City-related real property matters will provide an essential component of the resources necessary to meet the reporting requirements of the Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB).

Funding sources for real property acquisitions include the Capital Improvement and Preservation Program, Community Development Block Grant funds, Federal Highway Administration funds, Colorado Department of Transportation funds, Urban Drainage & Flood Control District funds, Jefferson County Open Space funds, the Conservation Trust Fund, and the City's General Fund.

Property ownership records are maintained by the Jefferson County Assessor. Records are available through the Property Records Search(Web site).
