Colorado County Courts

Colorado County Courts

Colorado County Courts are state trial courts of limited jurisdiction in the U.S. state of Colorado.

There is one County Court in each of Colorado's 64 counties. The County Courts hear civil cases with an amount in controversy not in excess of $15,000, misdemeanors, traffic infractions, felony complaints (which may be sent to District Court), protection orders, and small claims.

The District Courts, which are the state's trial courts of general jurisdiction, have appellate jurisdiction over the County Courts. (That is, decisions of the County Courts may be appealed to District Court).

There are currently 114 County Court judges, excluding the 17 Denver County Court judges appointed by the mayor of Denver.
