|---|---|
| Most common lot size | Mini-estate (2-3 acres) (70,000–140,000 sq ft): 52% of vacant lots; next, 5-acre ranchette at 12%. Median lot: 2.09 acre (91,040 sq ft). [1] |
| Owners who live elsewhere | 22% of vacant lots have an owner mailing address outside Colorado (most often TX, CA, FL) [1] |
| Address-based Como figures | The statistics cover parcels whose situs city in the Park County extract is Como. That field is an address label, not a mapped boundary. County permit review still uses the individual schedule and fire district. [1],[4] |
| Most common lot-size band | The median lot in the county's vacant class is 2.09 acres. mini-estate (2-3 acres)s represent 52% of the 2,920 parcels. County applications still map structures, access, well, and septic together. [1],[7] |

Pricing
What is a lot in Como worth?
What moves the price in Como
The situs-city label is not a boundary survey
This page follows the county data field, not a drawn municipal line. It includes 2,920 parcels in the county's vacant class whose situs city reads Como, with a median size of 2.09 acres. That makes the set useful for understanding the address pattern, but it does not establish a parcel's jurisdiction or fire district. Park County says the fire contact depends on the project's location and directs Jefferson and Como projects to the same local contact. Parcel Buyers checks access and title on each parcel before making an offer. [1],[4]
Historic surroundings and private title are different issues
Como's historic setting is specific: Park County identifies an 1882 section house near Boreas Pass, a 1902 narrow-gauge gondola, and an 1880s roundhouse, depot, and hotel complex. The complex entered the National Register in 1983. County guidance also says historic designation itself does not take away property rights. For a vacant parcel, the practical questions remain its own deed, zoning, access, and permit record. An owner should not assume that being near a landmark either restricts a lot or gives it special development rights. [2],[3]
High-country construction starts before the house plan
Park County requires engineered plans because snow and wind loads vary with location. Its FAQ says frost depth can reach 10 feet and gives 24 inches below finished grade as the prescriptive minimum footing depth on undisturbed soil. The county also directs owners in the Jefferson and Como area to the relevant fire contact for required approvals. A driveway, water source, and wastewater design need to fit the same site plan. A primitive sleeping cabin without electricity, plumbing, sanitation, and running water does not meet county guidance. [4]
Well and septic approvals answer separate questions
Colorado DWR decides well permits, while Park County administers on-site wastewater review. DWR says a complete new or replacement application may take up to 49 days and that an existing permit file can identify allowed uses and available construction records. The county's OWTS rules call for at least two soil-profile test pits, a site inspection, and a detailed soil investigation. Its 2023 form lists a $150 site evaluation and a $523 residential permit. Neither record should be treated as proof that the other approval exists. [5],[6],[7]
Common situations
Selling land in Como in these situations
Your parcel is near a designated historic site
Yes. A nearby landmark does not prevent a cash sale. Park County says designation on local, state, or national historic lists does not itself affect property rights. The title company still reviews the deed and recorded documents for the exact lot, and county zoning, health, and building rules continue to apply. Parcel Buyers checks access, utilities, and title before offering rather than making assumptions from the surrounding historic district or street name. [3],[2]
You no longer want to manage a remote lot
Yes. 22% of the lots in the county's vacant class in the Como situs-city set have an owner mailing address outside Colorado. The percentage describes the address of record, not occupancy. A remote owner can sign electronically or use a mail-away closing. The independent title company handles the transfer, and payment can arrive by check or wire once its requirements are complete. [1]
The lot was kept for camping rather than building
Yes. Land can be sold even when it was held for occasional camping. Park County limits permit-free camping on vacant property to 14 cumulative days each year, and stored camping units count toward that total. A longer seasonal permit can cover May 1 through October 31 plus 14 winter days. That application must explain potable water, sewage handling, and trash removal, and the unit must leave after the permit period. [8]

Questions
Selling land in Como: common questions
Do the Como figures describe an incorporated town boundary?
No. They describe parcels with Como in the Park County extract's situs-city field. The data source does not turn that mailing or site label into a municipal boundary. Use the specific parcel's legal description, zoning, road records, and permit history when deciding what rules or access apply.
Does historic designation stop me from selling or using my land?
No. Park County says being on a local, state, or national historic list does not affect property rights. Normal zoning, health, and building rules still control proposed work. Because the county identifies several designated railroad resources around Como, compare the exact parcel record with those mapped sites instead of assuming a nearby landmark changes your title.
Why does Park County require engineered building plans?
Because the county has special wind and snow loads. Its building FAQ requires a Colorado registered structural engineer's stamp and says location-specific snow-load data should be used. The same guidance notes that frost can be as deep as 10 feet, with a 24-inch prescriptive minimum footing depth on undisturbed soil.
Can a Como-address parcel get a private well?
Only after Colorado DWR reviews the parcel and application. DWR does not guarantee a permit in advance. Its online file can show allowable uses and available construction or pump records for an existing well, while review of a complete new or replacement application may take up to 49 days.
What site work comes before a septic permit?
Park County requires a site and soil evaluation for each proposed OWTS. The process includes at least two soil-profile test pits, a site visit, detailed soil investigation, report, and site plan. The published 2023 form lists $150 for the evaluation and $523 for a new residential septic permit.

Guides for your situation
- Can You Sell Land With a Lien?
Yes. Land with a lien can often be sold, but signing a deed does not by itself erase a valid claim. The lien may need to be paid, released, discharged, or otherwise resolved under the law that applies. With the seller's consent, an approved payoff can come from sale proceeds at closing. If the balance or lien is wrong, dispute it before closing and require proof of the cure.
- Water, Sewer, Septic, and Wells on Vacant Lots
A vacant lot may use public water, a private well, public sewer, or an onsite septic system, but nearby pipes and neighboring homes do not prove what the parcel can use. Ask each utility for a written availability decision, ask the permitting office whether connection is mandatory, and obtain a qualified site evaluation before saying septic will fit. Keep every response, permit, plan, test, and receipt.
- Selling Land With Boundary or Survey Problems
Land with a boundary or survey problem can still be offered for sale, but closing may depend on how the buyer, lender, and title insurer handle it. The contract and closing requirements determine whether a survey is needed. A fence does not by itself establish the record boundary. A survey can identify gaps, overlaps, occupation lines, and encroachments; a competing Florida title claim may require a quiet-title action.[1][6][7]

How we made this page
Parcel Buyers is a land-buying company based in Florida. We buy vacant land directly from owners and publish these local pages so owners can see what land in their area is doing before they sell, to us or anyone else. We count the tax-roll figures ourselves from state data, take local rules and fees from the official sources listed below, and use AI tools to help research and draft the text. Every number links to its source, and we update the page when the data changes.
Method and sources
Parcel and assessment figures cover parcels whose situs city on the Park County extract is Como. Source [1] is our own aggregate count of the State of Colorado Public Parcels county extracts or, for Pueblo, Huerfano and El Paso, the official county source named in the source data. Vacant-lot counts use existing OIT counties retain their documented 0100/0400 or county vacant-class rules. Pueblo uses the county proxy Improvem_1 = 0, LandActual > 0, TaxExempt = no and MobileHome = no; 11 of 120 sampled rows intersected a county building footprint (9.2% error band). Huerfano uses use_code 100/400 with actual_imp = 0. El Paso uses numeric LANDCODE 100 with blank/zero IMPCount (the current export encodes zero as blank) and drops legal descriptions starting TR, TRACT or OUTLOT. These are source-record screens, not physical-vacancy or buildability findings. Lot sizes use existing OIT counties retain the documented acreage, square-foot or geometry method. Pueblo uses county SHAPE.STArea() square feet. Huerfano converts land_size_ according to land_units (SF stays square feet; AC is multiplied by 43,560) and otherwise uses positive master_acr. El Paso converts county Acreage to square feet. All are bucketed with the Parcel Buyers lot sizing chart ([low, high) square feet). Values use county-specific assessor fields: OIT apprValTot for the original counties, Pueblo LandActual, Huerfano total_actu and El Paso MARKETVALUE. These are assessor values, not sale prices, offers or parcel appraisals by Parcel Buyers. Owner locations use owner mailing state of record from each approved source; in_state = Colorado. Mailing state does not prove residence, owner type, motivation or willingness to sell. Owner names were used only in-memory or in a server-side grouped query for the 10% concentration gate and were never stored. Treat medians as a guide to county records, not as an offer or an appraisal. Page updated October 7, 2026.
