Good to know

Before you buy in Aurora

Local rules and costs that change a deal's numbers or closing date in Aurora and Arapahoe, Adams and Douglas counties. Sources are listed at the bottom of the page.
  • If you buy an apartment building, expect inspections under the city's Multi-Family Systematic Housing Inspection Program: the owner gets a report with a reinspection date at least 30 days out, and reinspections continue, with administrative fees, until every deficiency is fixed.
  • Check the flood risk even outside a mapped zone: the city says every property carries some risk, and its last significant flood was in September 2013. Look up the address on the city's flood risk map or the Mile High Flood District map before you buy.
