Chapter 4 - § 4.5 • POWER TO REGULATE SALE OF SUBDIVISION LOTS
Jurisdiction | Colorado |
• C.R.S. § 30-28-110(4)
• C.R.S. §§ 31-23-216 and 31-23-216.5
The sale of subdivided lots prior to county or municipal approval of the subdivision is illegal and punishable by civil and criminal prosecution and penalty.81 A county has the authority to prevent the sale of a lot that does not meet the criteria for subdivision exemption until such time as a plat for the lot is approved.82 Counties may also withhold building permits for lots that were unlawfully created.83 One obvious purpose of subdivision enforcement is to prevent unbuildable lots, or lots without basic services such as water or sewer, from being marketed to unsuspecting citizens.84
