When land near Windsor catches your eye, a look at the Severance GIS map gives you lines, owner names and parcel numbers. This Severance guide covers: which viewer to open, how to search it, and the limits worth knowing.
Finding a lot on the Severance GIS map
If you're looking near Windsor, some cities also run their own GIS portal for utilities or zoning; that can add detail on top of the county map.
Getting to the right map
Begin with the Weld County parcel viewer; it maps every assessed parcel in the county, Ault included. For property near Pierce, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. Out toward Eaton, the record panel usually lists the owner of record, assessed acreage, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Severance and the county around it
The town lies within Weld County, Colorado, so its parcels are on the county's map for land near Longmont. Local government in Severance handles things like zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, and the county still keeps the parcel and deed records. Land beyond the city limits near Garden City generally falls under county rules rather than the town's.
Finding the right lot
For a house in Severance, search the street address; owner names are usually entered last name first. Out toward Windsor, a parcel ID is the most reliable search, and it's printed on tax bills.
A word on accuracy
Acreage on the record is an estimate; just a licensed surveyor can set the real lines for a parcel near Eaton. Closer to Ault, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month may not show yet.
A quick look at the area
Greeley holds the county offices, home to the main records offices. Smaller places on the map include Windsor, Eaton, and Ault, where town lots give way to larger tracts. About 359,442 people live in Weld County (Census estimate, 2023) on roughly 3,985 square miles. Weld County was organized in 1861, and some chains of title near Windsor are long. Features like Pawnee National Grassland help you orient on the aerial around Ault.
Reading the legal description
Colorado uses the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Windsor reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, and a township holds 36 of them, though corrections make some sections near Greeley odd-sized. Keep the legal description for land near Pierce before you request a deed or survey.
Printing and saving
Save a screenshot of the lot near Ault and its record panel, so you have it when calling an office.
Taking the map into the field
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Eaton, but coverage can be spotty out of town. A saved image of the lot near Pierce and its lines is a good backup.
When the map won't load
If the viewer stalls on a phone near Pierce, try a desktop browser or clear the cache; the Platbookmapper county page tracks the current link.
Which office to call
Anything recorded against property around Garden City are with the County Clerk and Recorder, often with an online index. Zoning, permits and septic questions near Pierce go to planning, building or health offices, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.

Acreage along the edge near Garden City can show up in two county records, so look at the neighboring map before you assume the acreage.

Reading a parcel record

Deeds, plats and who keeps them
