What this counts
Family compound parcels, in plain words
Every lot in the nine counties with room for a second household without building new: two homes on one lot, a duplex, triplex or fourplex, a second building of 400 sq ft or more on the aerial (a garage, barn or shop to turn into a unit, recorded or not), a walk-out basement with its own door, or a big house to split. Camps and compounds too: a camp or retreat, a campground with cabins, a lodge or bed and breakfast, or lodging with three or more buildings on five acres or more, from the county’s own class. Each card says how the second unit gets its own door.

What does the Family compound trade look for?
room for two families without building new: two homes, a duplex to fourplex, a garage, barn or shop to convert, a walk-out basement. Records: Aerial building outlines on every lot (Overture Maps: machine-traced from imagery, with OpenStreetMap; ODbL), placed in the state’s lot outlines (Colorado Public Parcels, OIT GIS); each county’s unit classes; Boulder County’s buildings file (garages, barns, walk-out basements, finished square feet).
How was it checked?
Checked Oct 17, 2026 against Boulder County’s buildings file: 86% of the aerial’s second buildings on home lots (9,010 of 10,458) are on the county’s record as a garage or another building; the other 14% are buildings the record doesn’t list. The aerial finds 67% of the county’s detached garages of 400+ sq ft; the rest come from the record itself.
Does a match mean the owner will sell?
No. A match is a recorded fact that fits the trade. Nothing here predicts a sale.
