The Colorado Grant of Emergency Access Easement (EGA) is a legal instrument used to grant temporary access to private property for emergency purposes. It is used to provide road access to emergency personnel and equipment, including fire trucks, ambulances, and law enforcement vehicles. It is typically used in rural and remote areas where there are no public roads or access routes. The EGA is available to counties, municipalities, and other state and local agencies in Colorado. The granter (the property owner) must provide written consent to the grantee (the agency) which outlines the conditions of the access. The granter will typically retain an easement over the property, allowing them to reclaim the property once the emergency is over. There are two types of Colorado Grant of Emergency Access Easement: 1. Permanent Easement — This is a permanent easement that is granted to the grantee, allowing them to access the property indefinitely. 2. Temporary Easement — This is a temporary easement that is granted to the grantee for a specific duration of time. The access will expire after the specified duration and the granter will reclaim the property.
