If your property falls within the Vidler Water Company boundaries of Summit County, you are likely able to participate in their water augmentation program by purchasing water rights to allow you to expand existing indoor rights to the outdoors and add an accessory dwelling (i.e. guest house), irrigated land or surface area (i.e. pond). There are a few steps you will need to investigate to determine your eligibility and what the cost will be for your extended rights. Specifically, there are different costs based on whether you have an Exempt or Non-Exempt Well. If you have a Non-Exempt Well* you will most likely pay only the fees of adding, or augmenting, the rights outside as there most likely is existing augmentation for your property or subdivision.

Thinking of listing your mountain home? Take the time beforehand to view your property through a potential buyer’s eyes. We’ve compiled 10 tips to improve your home’s appearance and help get it ready to sell. 1. Curb Appeal: You never get a second chance to make the first impression. Buyers will have an opinion about your home before they even walk in the door. Keep sidewalks and driveways cleared, lawns mowed and create a welcoming entry. 2. Less is More: Extra furniture, overflowing bookshelves, cluttered counters and bulging closets are easy to remedy.
