Most residents and business owners in a survey area will experience minimal – if any – impact from Discover Denver surveyors. Discover Denver will first review publicly-available data (such as assessor records) on all properties in a survey area. Properties within the area will then be surveyed in the field, which will consist of a survey worker observing the property from the public street or sidewalk and taking notes on the building’s physical integrity (whether or not the building retains its historic features). Workers will have project-specific identification and will identify themselves to you if asked.
If you live in a survey area, you may see Discover Denver workers walking throughout the neighborhood, taking notes on paper or handheld tablets, and snapping photos from the street or sidewalk. You may wish to participate in the survey by speaking with Discover Denver volunteers, sharing information or photos, or pointing out architecturally significant elements of a building that you own. Many property owners enjoy exchanging information with survey workers – to learn more about their own property or community, or to provide information that may be relevant to the survey. However, you are not obligated to participate, nor are you obligated to allow anyone access to your property. No one associated with Discover Denver will enter or access your property without your permission.
