FEMA Flood Elevation Certificate – A FEMA Elevation Certificate is used to determine if commercial or residential building are located in an existing flood plain. More information on FEMA Elevation Certificates can be found at by clicking here.
Land Survey Plat (LSP) – Purpose: Real estate closing, buying, selling and actual property information. A LSP is a boundary survey and it will show all property information, fence lines, buildings and found property pins. Missing property pins will be set. Per Colorado Law, this survey will be recorded with the county that the property resides in. A LSP only shows property line and property information, easements, building and fence lines.
Improvement Survey Plat (ISP) – Purpose: Real estate closing, buying, selling and actual property information. An ISP shows all the information that a LSP does, but per the client’s request, may include: Contours, landscaping, improvements, etc… As with the LSP, Colorado Law requires that this survey be recorded with the county that the property resides in.
