How to Search Denver County Records (Start Here)
Denver is Colorado's only consolidated city-county — city and county government are the same entity. This means fewer offices than typical Colorado counties.
- County public.denvercountycourt.org — search by case number, name, or view dockets and courtroom calendars. Also handle bond posting and warrant checks.
- District and Probate Court: Separate from County Court — Denver District Court handles felonies and major civil cases.
- Property assessments and tax: denvergov.org/Property — Denver's unified assessment and taxation system. Search by address for assessment values and tax data.
- Recorded documents: Clerk and Recorder at denvergov.org/Government/Records — deeds, mortgages, vital records.
