Checking easements on a house in Severance? Start with the Severance plat map, because the recorded plat shows how the land was divided. This Severance guide covers: where plats are filed, plat versus tax map, and the details that matter to buyers.
Getting started with the Severance plat map
For a subdivision near Ault, look for the plat book reference on the parcel record; bring that to the recorder's office or its online index.
Where the parcel data lives
Go first to the Weld County parcel viewer; it includes every assessed parcel from Garden City to Ault. For land near Garden City, type a street address, an owner's name or a parcel number, then pick the result to center the map on it. For a parcel near Pierce, a pop-up or side panel normally shows the owner of record, acreage on the tax roll, the parcel number and in many cases the last transfer.
Recorded documents worth pulling
The map is an index, not the title: deeds, subdivision plats and easements for land near Greeley are filed with the County Clerk and Recorder. For property near Eaton, have ready the document number shown in the record panel so staff can find the deed fast.
Severance and the county around it
Severance sits in Weld County, Colorado, and the county assessor maps its lots. For a home near Ault, City or town hall handles matters such as zoning, permits and utilities within town limits, while the county keeps the tax map. Acreage past the city limits out by Ault usually falls under county rules instead.
When a parcel crosses a boundary
Weld County touches Adams County, Boulder County, Broomfield County, Larimer County, and Logan County; every one of them runs a separate parcel map. Ground near Eaton that runs to the line may show up in two county records, so open the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. For a parcel near Garden City, the Platbookmapper state page links each bordering county map across Colorado.
Field tips
Most viewers work in a phone browser, which helps when you're standing on land near Ault, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Windsor with its ID is a good backup.
Getting answers from the right desk
Questions about value or the owner field for land near Eaton belong with the County Assessor, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Eaton need the planning or permitting office, depending on whether the land is inside town limits.
Recorded plat or GIS layer
If the tax map and plat differ near Ault, trust the recorded documents over the GIS layer.
Before you lean on the lines
The acreage figure is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor sets the real lines on land around Garden City. Near Greeley, records update in batches, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Weld County in a few facts
Greeley is the county seat, which is where the courthouse records live. You'll also find Windsor, Eaton, and Ault. Roughly 359,442 people live in Weld County (Census Bureau estimate, 2023) spread over roughly 3,985 square miles. Weld County dates to 1861, and some chains of title near Windsor are long. Features like Pawnee National Grassland are easy to spot when you zoom out from Windsor.
How land is described here
Colorado is laid out under the Public Land Survey System, so deeds around Greeley reference sections and townships. Each section is nominally a mile square, about 640 acres, with 36 sections to a township, though real sections near Pierce vary in size. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Eaton for any title or survey request.
Reading the plat sheet
With a lot near Greeley, the sheet usually includes lot and block numbers, dimensions and bearings, street rights-of-way and easements.
Getting a copy
Closer to Windsor, many recorder offices offer an online index, while others require a visit or a request; copy fees are usually small.
When there's no plat
Rural land near Pierce that was never subdivided is often described by metes and bounds or survey description; look for a recorded survey for land near Greeley.
Amended plats
An amended plat may change lots around Eaton, so check for later filings; street vacations near Pierce show up in the records too.
Frequently asked
What does lot 7, block 3 mean near Garden City?
For property near Pierce, lot and block refer to a numbered lot within a block on a recorded subdivision plat, so pull that plat for dimensions.
How is a plat different from the parcel map near Eaton?
Out toward Pierce, a recorded plat is based on a survey, but the GIS map is not; a surveyor ties it to the ground.
Can lots near Windsor be combined?
Good question; combining or splitting lots near Pierce usually needs a recorded plat change; ask staff about the process.
Where can I find the Severance plat map?
Good question; the County Clerk and Recorder keeps recorded plats.
Why do offices ask for the parcel ID around Windsor?
Every office uses it to pull the same file for land near Windsor, and it's on the record panel and tax bills.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
