The map: who governs the ground
Every shape below is a metropolitan district — a unit of local government that levies a mill levy on the property inside it. There are 2,231 active in Colorado, grouped into 1,113 named families, drawn here from the state's own boundary records. Click any district for its board contacts and the neighborhoods it serves.

Metropolitan district boundary — 1,113 families drawn from 2,230 district records. HOA footprint (toggle) — matched recorded plats, approximate, Denver & Arapahoe only. Boundaries are digitized by the state from recorded filings and are approximate.

Why HOA shapes here are "footprints," not boundaries
Colorado publishes no HOA boundary dataset. An association registers with the state — name, agent, address, unit count — but it never files a map; its legal boundary lives in its recorded declaration and amendments at the county recorder, which nobody digitizes. A metro district, by contrast, must file its boundary, which is why districts get solid shapes here and invented HOA boundaries don't: a confident wrong line on a map is worse than an honest gap.
What is public geometry is the recorded subdivision plat. The HOA footprints toggle draws, for 545 associations in Denver & Arapahoe (the counties whose plat layers publish polygons), the plats whose names match that association's registration with high confidence — the same matching the address lookup stands behind. A footprint is evidence of where an association's ground is. It is drawn dashed and labeled approximate because that is what it is.
For one specific property, the address lookup answers precisely what the map shows broadly: it takes a street address, finds its recorded plat in the county's parcel data, and reports the associations and districts whose names match — currently across 28 counties (Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, El Paso, Elbert, Gilpin, Gunnison, Huerfano, Jefferson, La Plata, Lake, Larimer, Logan, Mesa, Montezuma, Morgan, Ouray, Park, Pitkin, Rio Blanco, Routt, San Miguel, Summit, Teller, Weld).
Boundaries: Colorado Department of Local Affairs district registry, published by the Governor's Office of Information Technology, pulled 2026-08-07. Base map: © OpenStreetMap contributors. District boundaries are simplified for display; use the district's own records for any legal purpose. The point tax check queries the state's public PropTaxMap service live — the clicked coordinates go to the state, nothing else does — and lists the 2025 certified levies of the taxing entities the state maps at that spot. Entities the state doesn't map (and TIF areas, exemptions, and assessment rates) aren't reflected: your county assessor computes actual bills.
