About Us

The Colorado County Clerks Association (CCCA) is a non-governmental entity and includes in its membership 63 County Clerks of Colorado and their designees.  County clerks are elected through a vote of the residents of the county they serve or they are appointed by the city council.

The CCCA Bylaws can be found in the CCCA Bylaws (PDF).

The Role of County Clerks

As outlined in state and local law, the county clerk and recorder's office, which is overseen by the elected county clerk, is responsible for a broad range of services for their community. These can include:

Elections

County clerks conduct primary, general and coordinated elections, including school district elections. Cities, towns, or special districts often contract with county clerks to administer their elections as well.

Marriage licenses

County clerks are charged with issuing and recording marriage licenses.

Real estate recording

County clerks record all real estate transactions that occur within their counties including all deeds to property.

Liquor licenses

County clerks issue several different kinds of liquor licenses and special event permits for county establishments and events outside city limits. Municipal clerks handle most liquor licenses within their jurisdictions.

Voter registration

County residents wanting to register to vote can do so online, through their county clerk’s office, or when updating or obtaining a driver’s license. Clerks maintain complete lists of registered voters in their counties.

Vehicle plates

County clerk’s offices issue and record vehicle titles as well as issue license plates.
