Back to all statesColorado public records are governed by the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), which gives residents and the public the right to access government documents and records. From property ownership and court records to business filings and vital statistics, Colorado maintains extensive public databases across its 64 counties. Colorado courts use a unified statewide eFiling and case-lookup system through the Judicial Branch, while county clerks handle deeds and recorded documents locally. Whether you're conducting a background check, researching property history, or verifying business information, the resources below provide direct access to official Colorado public records.
Most Colorado public records can be accessed online through state agency portals like the Colorado State Archives and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, or through individual county clerk websites. For records not published online, agencies accept written requests under the Colorado Open Records Act — usually by mail or email — and must respond within the statutory deadline. Certified copies of vital records and court documents typically require a small fee and proof of identity.
