Larimer County
LARIMER COUNTY:
Larimer County’s 2026 population is estimated at 380,384, reflecting a 0.82% growth rate over the past year (World Population Review estimate based on U.S. Census Bureau data). Larimer County is the 8th largest county in Colorado. The 2010 population was 300,453 and has grown 26.6% since 2010.
Larimer County comprises the Fort Collins, CO Metropolitan Statistical Area. The county is located at the northern end of the Front Range, at the edge of the Colorado Eastern Plains along the border with Wyoming.
HISTORY
Larimer County was created in 1861, and was named after General William Larimer. Unlike that of much of Colorado, which was founded on the mining of gold and silver, the settlement of Larimer County was based almost entirely on agriculture, an industry that few thought possible in the region during the initial days of the Colorado Gold Rush. The mining boom almost entirely passed the county by. It would take the introduction of irrigation to the region in the 1860s to bring the first widespread settlement to the area.
GEOGRAPHY
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 2,634 square miles (6,820 km2), of which 2,596 square miles (6,720 km2) is land and 38 square miles (98 km2) (1.4%) is water.

Benefits of using a professional REALTOR®.
Congratulations on your decision to buy a home! It’s a challenging project, and there are many ways a professional can help. Here are some of the many ways you may benefit from working with a REALTOR®:
Many more home choices.
Your REALTOR® has thousands of homes to choose from through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), so you’re more likely to find the home that’s just right for you and find it quicker. In fact, a majority of the homes for sale are listed by REALTORS® and aren’t available to you unless you are working with a REALTOR®
A number of transactions “fall out.”
Unfortunately, it’s true. Some transactions fall apart before closing. An experienced REALTOR® may be able to resolve problems and see your transaction through to a successful closing.
Knowledge of new home subdivisions.
New home subdivisions will welcome you and your REALTOR®. If you’re interested in buying a new home, take your agent with you on your first visit to each subdivision. Your professional REALTOR® is an important source of information who can supply background on the builder, nearby subdivisions, and the local community.
It’s a major investment.
You use a professional for your legal, financial and health needs. Why gamble on what may be your biggest investment without a professional at your side?
Help with FSBO’s.
If you consider a “For Sale By Owner,” take your REALTOR® along to help negotiate the contract.
There is less liability.
You may have more protection from legal and financial liability, especially as real estate transactions become more complicated.
The paperwork.
Your experienced REALTOR® will negotiate and prepare the purchase contract for you and assist you throughout the escrow process.
Key professionals involved in your transaction.
REALTOR®
A REALTOR® is a licensed real estate agent and a member of the National Association of REALTORS®, a real estate trade association. REALTORS® also belong to their state and local Association of REALTORS®
Real Estate Agent
A real estate agent is licensed by the state to represent parties in the transfer of property. Every REALTOR® is a real estate agent, but not every real estate agent has the professional designation of a REALTORS®
Listing Agent
A key role of the listing agent or broker is to form a legal relationship with the homeowner to sell the property and place the property in the Multiple Listing Service.
Buyer’s Agent
