Closing soon? Need an Improvement Location Certificate fast? ILC Colorado has been issuing ILCs across southern Colorado since 1975 — fast turnaround, licensed surveyors, lender-accepted reports.
An Improvement Location Certificate (ILC) is an inspection of a parcel by a licensed surveyor to determine possible encroachments or other matters that could adversely affect the subject parcel.
It identifies where buildings, driveways, and other improvements sit relative to the property's deeded boundaries and recorded easements — flagging encroachments, setback violations, or boundary conflicts before they become a closing problem or legal dispute.
An ILC is not a boundary survey. It's a faster, more affordable inspection commonly required by Colorado lenders and title companies during real estate transactions. If you need property corners marked or a legal boundary determined, you'll want a full boundary survey instead.
Most Colorado lenders require an ILC before closing to confirm the home, garage, and outbuildings sit within property lines and easements.
Title companies frequently order an ILC to flag encroachments early — preventing last-minute surprises that can derail a closing.
Lenders may require a fresh ILC during refinance to verify nothing has changed since the original purchase — new structures or additions.
Before pouring a foundation or breaking ground on an addition, an ILC confirms you're inside your boundaries and clear of utility easements.
