Easements Through County Properties

Request for easements across County Roads and/or through County property must be approved in advance by the Board of County Commissioners at a regularly scheduled meeting. These requests must be accompanied by a completed easement package which must include a detailed map and diagram showing the easement path and affected areas. You can download a copy of the Easement form and instruction here. Please be aware that there is a special easement form for Wind Farms and Pipelines that is available on request. These completed forms should be returned with the necessary maps to 251 16th Street, Suite 203, Burlington, CO 80807 prior to your scheduled meeting. Please contact the County Clerk and Recorders Office at (719) 346-8638 to coordinate your filing process. You do not need to be in attendance to present this information to the Board. Once the Board has approved the request, the easement is filed with the County Clerk with the required recording fees.
