What we cover

Geography (v1): 31 Colorado counties covering the major mountain and Front Range markets:

Data sources

Every record on Acrescope is sourced from a named public-records system. We do not editorialize raw data; we aggregate and cross-reference it. Each record on the site links back to the original source.

County GIS & assessor records

Parcel polygons, ownership of record, mailing addresses, situs addresses, tax-roll market value, year built, acreage, and physical attributes. Sourced from each county's ArcGIS REST FeatureServer or the Colorado statewide public-parcels layer, across all 31 counties we cover.

Colorado Secretary of State business filings

Entity name, formation date, state of record, status (Good Standing / Delinquent / Dissolved), registered agent, principal address. Sourced from the Colorado SOS Socrata open-data API (data.colorado.gov). We match SOS entities to parcel owners via fuzzy name resolution.

CO Division of Water Resources — water rights

Decreed water rights with WDID, appropriation date, decreed amount, source, use types, and adjudication date. Sourced from the Colorado Decision Support System (CDSS) REST API (dwr.state.co.us). Spatially joined to each parcel by point-in-polygon location.

ECMC oil & gas wells

Well API number, operator, facility status, spud date, field name. Sourced from the Colorado Energy & Carbon Management Commission (formerly COGCC) public ArcGIS REST service. Joined to nearby parcels by location.

FEMA National Flood Hazard Layer

Per-parcel FEMA flood zone, Special Flood Hazard Area status, and base flood elevation. Sourced from the FEMA NFHL ArcGIS REST endpoint via point-identify against parcel centroids.

Colorado State Forest Service — wildfire risk

Per-parcel wildfire damage potential tier (Very Low / Low / Moderate / High / Very High), sourced from CSFS & CO-WRA 2022 building-damage-potential ImageServer via per-parcel raster identify.

County clerk & recorder distress filings

Notices of Election & Demand (NEDs), lis pendens, mechanic's liens, federal and state tax liens, and judgements. Live today in Grand, Pitkin and Routt counties (recorder-sourced); additional counties are CORA-gated and rolling out. Every record preserves the original document detail URL.

How we link records

The parcel is our canonical entity. Every other record — distress signal, water right, well, climate score, owner — is joined to a parcel via one of three methods:

  • Exact identifier match (parcel number, schedule number, WDID) where available.
  • Spatial join via PostGIS (water rights and wells joined to parcels by proximity to parcel centroid).
  • Fuzzy name match with surname anchoring and a calibrated similarity threshold (distress filings' grantor names matched to parcel owners-of-record).

Records that don't pass the confidence threshold are flagged as unmatched and stored with the full set of candidates for manual review. We don't silently mis-attribute.
