Why land prices vary so much in Park County
Park County covers about 2,166 square miles. At its center is South Park, a high, open grassland basin at roughly 9,000 feet. The county says it has more land above 9,000 feet than any other county in Colorado. The north end is different: forested canyons along the South Platte River and US 285, where Bailey sits at about 7,700 feet and about 40 miles from Denver.
Recent market data shows a county median land sale of $48,000 and a median asking price of $69,000. Lots took about 104 days on average to sell, and there was about 14 months of supply. That means buyers have many lots to choose from, and sellers wait.
The ZIP code matters a lot. Hartsel (80449) had the most sales, 390, at a median of $34,250. Fairplay (80440) had a median of $86,000 and Alma (80420) $109,750. Size matters less than you might think. Lots of 2 to 5 acres had a median of $55,000 across 277 sales, but lots of 5 to 10 acres had a median of only $25,000 across 255 sales. Lots of 10 to 20 acres had a median of $85,000. Trees, views, road access, power and a well permit often move the price more than the acreage does.
- 80449 Hartsel: median $34,250 (390 sales)
- 80440 Fairplay: median $86,000 (136 sales)
- 80456 Jefferson: median $46,000 (93 sales)
- 80432 Como: median $38,000 (65 sales)
- 80420 Alma: median $109,750 (50 sales)
- 80421 Bailey: median $35,500 (38 sales)
- 80827 Lake George: median $44,000 (30 sales)
- 80820 Guffey: median $75,500 (26 sales)
Water and wells
A vacant lot outside a town water system has no water service. A home there needs a well or a cistern with hauled water. A new well needs a permit from the Colorado Division of Water Resources (DWR), the State Engineer's office.
Lot size changes what a well can do. On a parcel under 35 acres, an exempt well is usually limited to household use inside one single-family home, with no outdoor watering. A parcel of 35 acres or more can qualify for a well with broader uses, such as watering livestock. Some subdivisions also depend on a court-approved augmentation plan to support their well permits. Indian Mountain is one example.
You can check whether a permit already exists for your lot with the DWR online well permit search. A recorded permit, or a clear path to one, makes a lot easier to sell. Rules change, so confirm the details for your parcel with DWR.
Camping, RVs and building rules
Many owners want to camp on their land. Park County allows it, with limits. The county Land Use Regulations (Article V, Section 5-712, revised July 2025) cover camping on vacant lots zoned residential or mining.
An owner may camp up to 14 total days per calendar year without a permit. For more time, the county issues a no-fee camping permit for up to 30 days in a row, with one 30-day renewal per year. One more renewal is possible if a permitted septic system serves the site. Apply to Development Services at least 14 days before you camp. The permit allows no more than two camping units, and the units must leave the lot when no permit is active. The county also requires permitted access to the lot and a posted address.
Building has its own steps. You need a septic system permit before you apply for a building permit. On lots under 35 acres, a shed or other accessory building is not allowed until a main building exists or has a building permit. These rules change, so check with Park County Development Services before you plan anything.
Roads, winter access and power
Park County Road and Bridge maintains roads that are part of the county road system. It does not maintain private roads or subdivision roads that are not in that system. Before you build a driveway, you need a driveway permit from Road and Bridge.
Winter is long at this elevation. On county roads, plow crews open main roads first, then collector roads, then local roads. Cul-de-sacs and dead ends come last, after the storm ends. The owner clears the driveway. The county also warns that high winds can drift roads shut after the snow stops.
Many lots have no power line nearby. Some owners use solar, propane and generators instead. If you do not know whether power reaches your lot, that is fine. We check the access and utilities ourselves before we make an offer.
Back taxes and the Park County Treasurer
The Park County Treasurer collects property taxes. You can pay the full year by April 30, or pay in two halves: the first by February 28 and the second by June 15. You can look up any account by owner, address or schedule number on the Treasurer's website: parkcountyco.gov.
If taxes go unpaid, interest builds each month. The county advertises delinquent accounts and sells a tax lien on them at an annual online sale in the fall. For 2026 the sale runs November 2 to 4, and owners can pay until October 28 at 3:00 pm to stay off it. The lien buyer does not own your land. You can redeem the lien any time before the property sells at a public auction.
After about three years, the lien holder can apply for a Treasurer's Deed. Under Colorado's 2024 law, the property then goes to a public auction, and any amount bid above what is owed goes to the owner. Even so, you can lose the land. If your lot has back taxes, we can still buy it. The taxes are paid from the sale at closing.

Hartsel had the most land sales in Park County in recent market data, 390, at a median of $34,250. Many lots there are in large subdivisions on open, high grassland near 8,900 feet.
