A Phase I Environmental Site Assessment evaluates historical uses and site conditions to identify potential contamination. Completing a compliant Phase I helps establish federal landowner liability protections under CERCLA if issues are later discovered. The EPA’s All Appropriate Inquiries Rule at 40 CFR Part 312 sets the standard and recognizes ASTM E1527-21. Lenders and investors often require a Phase I to manage risk and valuation. If concerns arise, a Phase II investigation may be recommended. Starting environmental due diligence early keeps deals on schedule and improves negotiation leverage.
The Colorado Common Interest Ownership Act sets governance, disclosure, and owners’ rights rules for HOAs, condos, and planned communities. Buyers should review association disclosures, budgets, insurance, and policies to understand assessments and restrictions. Sellers and associations must provide specific information within statutory timeframes. CCIOA also addresses owner education, executive board duties, and association records. Understanding these requirements helps avoid surprises after closing. The Division of Real Estate publishes CCIOA materials and the statute is available for reference.
Mechanics’ liens allow contractors and suppliers to secure payment by placing a lien on improved property. Colorado statutes set who may file, notice requirements, and deadlines for recording and foreclosure. Owners can manage risk with proper contracts, lien waivers, and payment procedures. Title companies and lenders often require lien protections before disbursing funds. If a lien is filed, prompt legal review helps assess validity and options to bond around or contest it. Reviewing the statutes ahead of a project can prevent costly title complications.
