How to Request Public Records
The Town Clerk is the official custodian of public records and handles all requests in accordance with the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA). To request a record:
- Submit a completed Record/Document Request Form via email to lstanford@crestedbutte-co.gov.
- If the estimated cost exceeds $50, a $50 deposit is required when submitting the request.
- Once the form and deposit (if applicable) are received, the Town has up to 3 working days to fulfill the request. This may be extended by up to 7 additional working days in cases of extenuating circumstances (e.g., records stored off-site).
To help us respond efficiently, please make your request as specific as possible.
