How this group compares

What happened to these permits

114 of the 2,480 permits decreed for irrigation in Kit Carson County ended with a well the Division was told about — 4.6%. And 125 expired without one: 5.0%.

An expired permit is the trap in a rural sale. A seller can produce a permit that lapsed years ago, and a permit is not a water right — the two are separate, and a purchase turns on both. What an expired permit does and does not mean.
