Property Ownership
In Colorado, a 'prescriptive easement' can be established when someone uses another's land:
AA. With the owner's written permission
BB. Openly, notoriously, continuously, adversely (without permission), and for the statutory period (18 years in Colorado)✓ Correct
CC. For less than one year
DD. With periodic permission from the owner
Explanation
A prescriptive easement arises through use that is open, notorious, continuous, and hostile (without permission) for Colorado's statutory period of 18 years. It gives the user a legal right to continue that use. Unlike adverse possession, it does not transfer title — only the right of use.
