Colorado Revised Statutes Title 34. Mineral Resources § 34-49-104. Plat certified and recorded

The plat, having been completed, shall be certified by the surveyor and acknowledged by him before a notary public or other officer authorized to take acknowledgments of deeds. The certificate of the surveyor and of acknowledgments, together with the plat, shall be recorded in the office of the county clerk and recorder in and for the county in which the land is situated, in the same manner as a deed of real estate is recorded. The acknowledgment and recording shall have like legal effect, and certified copies thereof and of such plat may be used in evidence to the same extent and with like effect, as in case of deeds.
