Clerk of Court vs Recorder
Park County has a split clerk structure. The judicial Clerk of Court maintains court case files, dockets, transcripts, probate files, ROAs, and court copies. The Park County Clerk and Recorder handles recorded documents, marriage and civil union licenses, elections, motor vehicle work, liquor licenses, Board of County Commissioners proceedings, and county recording services. The two offices have different addresses, fees, systems, and public access rules.
| Need | Use this office | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Divorce decree or parenting order | Clerk of Court | Family case files are District Court records. |
| Criminal complaint or sentence order | Clerk of Court | Filed charges and dispositions are court records. |
| Probate letters or will filing | Clerk of Court | Probate is handled in District Court. |
| Recorded deed or lien | Clerk and Recorder | Land records are county recording records. |
| Marriage license copy | Clerk and Recorder | Marriage licensing is a county recording function. |
Sending a court case request to the county public documents form can slow the process. The Colorado Judicial record/document request form is the primary route for case documents.
Request Park County Court Records
Use the Colorado Judicial record/document request form for case files and court copies. The form covers civil, criminal, family, probate, ticket, Register of Action, certified copy, and exemplified copy requests. It lets a requester select Park County or mark the county unknown, then provide names and other identifiers that help the clerk locate the correct case.
| Field Label | Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| County or location of records | Unspecified | Select Park County when known. |
| Date of birth | Optional | Use for the primary party if known. |
| Party information | Yes | Names on the case are required. |
| Other identifying information | Optional | Case number, hearing date, ticket number, or citation number. |
| Request documents | By request type | Family, criminal, civil, probate, ROA, or other documents. |
| Certified or exemplified request | Optional | Mark when an official certified document is needed. |
Examples include divorce decree, parenting plan, complaint or information, disposition or sentence order, protection order, ticket, order for judgment, transcript of judgment, satisfaction of judgment, letters, will, petition, closing, and claims. The ROA is useful when the requester needs the case history rather than a single order.
Get Certified Park County Copies
Certified copies prove that a document is an official court copy. They are often needed for divorce decrees, probate letters, judgments, protection orders, and out-of-state filing. Exemplified copies may be required for some formal uses outside Colorado. Plain online or docket information is not the same as a certified copy.
- Identify the case by party name, case number, ticket number, hearing date, or document type.
- Open the Colorado Judicial record/document request form and select Park County.
- Choose the document category and mark certified or exemplified if the receiving agency requires it.
- Submit the request and wait for clerk instructions about fees, redaction, retrieval, or pickup.
- Use the Clerk of Court contact information for procedural questions, transcript routing, or release-of-information issues.
If a release of information is needed, Park County's judicial page cites CJD 05-01 Addendum E and instructs users to complete an ROI form and send it to ParkCountyClerk@judicial.state.co.us. Transcript requests may be sent by email, fax, mail, or the Colorado Judicial transcript form.
Park County Court Copy Fees
Court copy fees come from the Colorado Judicial form. They differ from Park County Clerk and Recorder fees for recorded documents. Party status can affect the maximum charge for copies, and research or redaction may add time-based charges.
| Item | Fee or Rule |
|---|---|
| Copy per page | $0.25. |
| Party or attorney copy maximum | $15 regardless of pages. |
| Non-party copy maximum | No maximum stated. |
| Transcript of judgment | $25. |
| Certificate of satisfaction | $20. |
| Certified or exemplified copy | $20 per document. |
| Name search | $5. |
| Research or redaction | $30 per hour after the first hour, 15-minute increments. |
| Off-site case retrieval | Actual cost. |
Fees may be waived when required under CJD 06-01 or C.R.S. 13-32-104(1)(a). Ask for only the documents needed because a full file request can cost more than a targeted decree, order, ROA, or sentence record.
Park County Probate Registrar
The Clerk of Court also serves as Probate Registrar for Park County. Probate records include letters, wills, trusts, applications, petitions, closings, claims, and date of death information where available and public. Probate is not handled by a separate Park County probate courthouse. Certified letters should be requested through the judicial record process when banks, title companies, or other agencies require proof of authority.
Probate can overlap with land records, but the case file stays with District Court. Deeds, liens, and recorded instruments may appear in Clerk and Recorder systems, while estate orders, letters, and claims remain court records. Water-right disputes are handled by Colorado Water Courts, but estate administration itself remains in probate.
Note: The county public documents request form is for county departmental records, not the main route for court pleadings or probate case files.
Park County Clerk Record Sources
The manifest assigns several Clerk of Court page images from Park County recording and request sources. The county recording instructions page belongs to the Clerk and Recorder, so it is useful mainly for comparison with judicial records.
That source reinforces why court records and recorded documents should not be treated as one clerk function in Park County.
The online document search page shows the recorded-document path.
Recorded-document searches can help with liens and land instruments, but they do not replace the state court record request form.
The iCounty login page is the vendor system linked by Park County for recorded documents.
iCounty is a paid recorded-document tool, not a District Court or County Court case file search.
The recording FAQ is another county records channel.
Use those county channels for county administrative records or recorded-copy questions, not as the first stop for case pleadings.
The public documents request form is for county public records rather than judicial case files.
For court case documents, the judicial Clerk of Court remains the controlling office.
