What this page cannot tell you

The private half of Socorro County is not in any database.

Everything above is what the federal government controls. It does not show who owns a severed mineral or geothermal estate on private ground, whether that title is clean, what liens sit against it, or which families you will be negotiating with. That lives in the Socorro County recorder's office, and it is the step that decides whether you can actually lease the ground.

How we work here
  • FeasibilityOwnership, constraints and the federal record for your area, read before you commit.
  • Land and titleCounty title, tract by tract, with surface, mineral and geothermal estates run separately. Then the leases and agreements.
  • Rights of way and field servicesCorridors, survey, permitting and site work, delivered by one Impact project team.
