Who is SKLD?

Colorado's Premier Title Plant

SKLD is Colorado's premier title plant and real estate and mortgage information provider, maintaining geographically indexed databases covering fifteen Colorado counties — almost 85% of the state's population. Our database is the most comprehensive and accurate in the state.

1961

The Beginning

SKLD was originally formed by four title insurance companies: Security Title Guaranty Company, Kansas City Title Insurance Company, Lawyers Title Insurance Corporation, and The Denver Abstract Company to maintain metro-Denver property records in a joint title plant. (The name SKLD came from the first letters of the company names.)

Quality Focus: Because of the exacting needs of the title insurance industry, SKLD developed extensive internal data capture and validation processes to ensure depth, accuracy and integrity unavailable anywhere else.

Early 1990s

Market Expansion

SKLD made their timely, high quality data available to companies outside the title insurance industry in the form of mailing lists, transaction reports, and document images.

Early 2000s

Digital Transformation

SKLD modernized our document retrieval website and introduced SKLDoc . We expanded the years of images available, provided a faster, more efficient method to pull plat map images, and enhanced additional support services.
