Federal and state coordinate description same tract - federal precedence
Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
(1) Whenever coordinates based on the Colorado coordinate system are used to
describe any tract of land which in the same document is also described by reference to any
subdivision, line, or corner of the United States public land surveys, the description by
coordinates shall be construed as supplemental to the basic description of such subdivision, line,
or corner contained in the official plats and field notes filed of record, and, in the event of any
conflict, the description by reference to the subdivision, line, or corner of the United States
public land surveys shall prevail over the description by coordinates, unless said coordinates are
upheld by adjudication, at which time the coordinate description will prevail.
(2) Nothing in this article shall require any purchaser or mortgagee to rely on a
description, any part of which depends exclusively upon the Colorado coordinate system, unless
such description has been adjudicated as provided in this section.
