Water. Inside Denver city limits a tap fee buys you water and sewer, and the fee runs five figures. Outside, you need a well permit from the state and a septic permit from the county, and a domestic well permit is not a given on every parcel.

Zoning and minimum lot size. The county or city zoning sets what you can build and how many animals you can keep. A 35-acre parcel is the line where Colorado lets you split without subdivision review.

Access and utilities. Legal access on a recorded easement, electricity at the lot line, and the distance to gas, if any. Bringing power a quarter mile costs more than the lot in parts of Denver.

Soils and slope. Expansive clay, rock and steep grades all change the foundation cost. A soils report is a standard step before you close on a Denver lot.

Fire, flood and HOA. Wildfire mapping sets your insurance and your building codes in the foothills. Flood zones set your lender's requirements. And subdivision lots carry covenants on what you build.

Line up land financing. Lots need 20 to 35 percent down at a local bank or credit union, and construction loans roll the lot in. Cash buys the best lots.

Write with a due-diligence period. Survey, soils, well and septic feasibility, zoning letter and title with the easements. You walk if any of them fail.
