Why work with Kaylie in Elizabeth
Elizabeth is a small town in western Elbert County, about 45 miles southeast of Denver and east of Parker along State Highway 86. The town is set in a pine-forested area. Most of the larger properties sit outside town limits in unincorporated Elbert County, where acreage, horse properties and custom homes are common. The Elizabeth Park & Recreation District maintains local parks such as Evans Park and Casey Jones Park, and the year includes the Elizabeth Stampede Rodeo in June, the Elizabeth Celtic Festival in July, and the Town’s summer Friday Night Market.
Jurisdiction is easy to miss, and it matters. A property with an Elizabeth mailing address may be inside the Town of Elizabeth or in the county. In town, the Town operates municipal water and wastewater service. On many rural lots, buyers and sellers are working with a permitted well, an on-site septic system, county zoning and, in some subdivisions, covenants or an HOA. Kaylie helps you sort those details before you offer, and she helps sellers present them clearly.
Kaylie grew up in nearby Castle Rock, so she can speak to the commute into Parker and the south Denver suburbs, and how Elizabeth compares with those closer-in markets. She offers free consultations and can meet by phone, video or in person. For relocation buyers, she offers video home tours. She also reviews builder contracts for buyers looking at new construction.

Pricing acreage is different from pricing a home in town. The land, usable ground, outbuildings, well and septic, and access can matter as much as the house itself. Kaylie builds the price from the closest comparable sales and presents the property so buyers can see the land as well as the home.
- Records ready: well permit, septic records and, when the county requires it, an Elbert County use permit with a licensed inspection before closing.
- Presentation: photography should show the land, the setting and the barn or shop, not just the kitchen, and the listing should explain whether the home is in town or in the county.
- Covenants, districts and taxes: say clearly what covenants, HOA dues or special districts apply. Elbert County tax bills and services differ from those in Douglas County; Kaylie helps gather the assessor and treasurer details for the address.

Buying
Buying a home in Elizabeth
The right Elizabeth property depends on how much land you want, whether you plan to keep horses or add a barn or shop, and whether you prefer a home in town or acreage in the county.
- Confirm the jurisdiction: an Elizabeth mailing address may be inside town limits or in unincorporated Elbert County, and the services are not the same.
- Wells and septic: review the well permit for allowed uses (household, livestock or irrigation) and plan for water tests. Well permits come from the State of Colorado. Ask for septic records, and know that Elbert County requires a use permit, with a licensed inspection, before a property with an on-site system is sold.
- Zoning, covenants and taxes: confirm county zoning and any covenants before you offer if you want horses, a barn or a shop. Tax bills and special-district fees in Elbert County are not the same as in Douglas County; check the Elbert County Assessor and Treasurer for the address. Kaylie also reviews builder contracts for buyers looking at new construction.

What county is Elizabeth in?
Elbert County. The Town of Elizabeth is in the western part of the county, about 45 miles southeast of Denver and east of Parker along Highway 86. County offices are in Kiowa. An Elizabeth mailing address does not always mean the property is inside town limits.
Do homes around Elizabeth have city water and sewer?
Properties inside the Town of Elizabeth are served by the Town's municipal water and wastewater systems. Many homes outside town limits in unincorporated Elbert County use a private well and an on-site septic system. Confirm the service for any specific property.
What should I know about wells, septic systems and use permits?
Well permits and well testing are handled by the State of Colorado. Review the permit for what it allows, and plan for water quality and yield tests. On-site septic systems are permitted and inspected by Elbert County Public Health. When a property with a septic system is sold, the seller is required to obtain a use permit, and a licensed Elbert County inspector must inspect the system as part of that application. Confirm the current requirements with the county.
What school district serves Elizabeth?
Many addresses in and around Elizabeth are in the Elizabeth School District, which includes Elizabeth High School, Elizabeth Middle School, Running Creek Elementary, Singing Hills Elementary, and two charter schools, Legacy Academy and Independence Classical Academy. Rural boundaries vary, so confirm the assignment for the address with the district.
