Why an ILC.....? Peace of Mind!
Improvement Location Certificates, or ILCs, are important for brokers, lenders, title companies, municipal agencies and borrowers. The ILC provides a document that shows a bird's eye view of a property, summarizing boundaries, improvements, easements, and encroachments on or off the property, as applicable. The certificate is signed a registered land surveyor. This certifies the work done meets the standards set by the State of Colorado Board of Land Surveyors and Engineers and was completed under the direct supervision of the registered land surveyor.
*If the ILC is needed for a building permit, we can add items required by the governing agency. Examples include:
- Verify property fence heights.
- Verify property setbacks and locate improvements in relation to the setbacks.
- Further verify and research zoning-required setbacks for the property.
- Locate adjacent structures when the zoning specifies a minimum separation between buildings.
- Verify actual building coverage when the zoning specifies a maximum building coverage.
- Certify building height.
