Municipal Codes — Park County

At a Glance

Legal Framework

Park County and its municipalities are governed by layered law, from most specific to broadest:

• Municipal ordinances — each town, city, or village within Park County publishes its own code. See the town pages under Park County for municipality-specific codes.
• County ordinances — published by the Park County Board of County Commissioners. Contact the County Clerk for the current code.
• State statutes — Colorado Statutes (Colorado)
• Federal code — U.S. Code · Code of Federal Regulations

How to Find a Specific Code

To find the code that applies to a specific address or situation, start with the most specific layer and work outward:

1. Check the municipal code for the town, city, or village where the address is located.
2. If the address is in an unincorporated area, the county code (Park County ordinances) applies directly.
3. State statutes (Colorado) govern matters not covered by local code.
4. Federal code applies everywhere within the United States.
