Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder Office

The Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder is a separate county elected office from the Colorado Judicial Branch Clerk of Court. The county office describes the Clerk as the primary administrative officer of the county and says the office manages about 60 staff across Recording, Motor Vehicle, and Election divisions. Its permanent public records work includes recording, copying, indexing, preserving documents, and maintaining county records that are not state court case files.

The Recording and Clerk to the Board office is at 215 W. 10th St., 2nd Floor, Pueblo, CO 81003. The researched hours are 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Recording contact information is recordings@pueblocounty.us, phone 719-583-6507, and fax 719-583-4894. The office also lists a Motor Vehicle Historic Courthouse location, a Motor Vehicle Drive Thru at 1228 Routt Ave., and an Election Office at 201 W. 8th St., 7th Floor.

The office sits in Pueblo County's historic courthouse workflow, not the state court workflow. The same county complex that supports recording and Clerk to the Board services is separate from Pueblo Combined Court at 501 N. Elizabeth Street. Users who need a recorded deed, recorded survey, marriage license, or BOCC resolution should start here. Users who need a divorce decree, criminal disposition, probate order, or court judgment should start with the Clerk of Court.

Pueblo County Recorder Duties

Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder records are broad county administrative and recording records. The research identifies real estate deeds, property ownership records, plat maps, land surveys, mining claims, military records, marriage and civil union licenses, recording, copying, indexing, and preservation. The office is also the agent for Colorado Department of Revenue motor vehicle work, including registration, plates, fees, titles, handicap placards, and inventory.

• Record and preserve deeds, plats, surveys, mining claims, military records, and other recorded documents.
• Issue and record marriage and civil union licenses for Pueblo County.
• Serve as Designated Election Official for county primary, general, and special elections.
• Keep BOCC resolutions, meeting minutes, official audio, agendas, video, and livestream records.
• Act as a Colorado Department of Revenue agent for motor vehicle services.

The county notes that a CivicPlus Public Portal is active for BOCC meeting agendas, resolutions, minutes, audio and video, and livestreaming.

The office also has a practical scale that affects public-record work. The research states that the Clerk and Recorder manages approximately 60 staff across Recording, Motor Vehicle, and Election divisions. That means a request should name the division when possible. Recording questions should go to the recording contact, election questions should go to the Election Office, and title or registration questions should go to motor vehicle rather than to the court clerk.

Search Pueblo County Recording Records

The official Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder records-search page is the starting point for county recording records. The research found that recording search details were partly gated, so a user should treat the public landing page, the Recording Department contact, and in-person help as a combined access path. A precise request should include names, recording date if known, document type, parcel or legal description where relevant, and whether a plain or certified copy is needed.

For BOCC materials, the Clerk and Recorder home page points to the CivicPlus public portal. For marriage records, use the marriage license process and county copy fee schedule. For court case records, dockets, divorce decrees, or probate files, use the state court Pueblo County Clerk of Court instead.

Pueblo County Marriage Records

The County Clerk and Recorder handles Pueblo County marriage and civil union licenses. Walk-ins for Pueblo County residents are accepted from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, and applicants should allow about 30 minutes. Both parties must appear unless one party uses an absentee affidavit. Applicants need valid U.S. or state government ID proving identity and birth date, such as a current driver's license or current passport.

The license costs $30, payable by cash or card only, with no checks. It is valid for 35 days, including the date of issue, anywhere in Colorado. Parties are responsible for returning the completed license to the Clerk and Recorder after the ceremony. Once returned, the license is recorded and imaged, and the original is returned by mail. Certified copies of a marriage license are listed at $1.25.

Colorado permits self-solemnization. If the parties solemnize the marriage themselves, they complete the lower portion of the license and sign as both parties to the marriage. Witnesses are optional, but a witness used on the license must be 18 or older.

Pueblo County Clerk Fee Schedule

The researched fee schedule includes marriage, copy, recording, retrieval, and image-access charges. Recording charges are not court filing fees. They apply to county recording services and permanent county record copies.

Pueblo County Clerk Records Limits

County Clerk and Recorder records are public-record focused, but the right office still matters. CORA can help with county administrative records, while court records follow Colorado Judicial access rules. Criminal justice agency records follow criminal justice records rules. The Clerk and Recorder cannot provide a certified divorce decree, criminal disposition, probate order, or District Court judgment because those are not county recording records.

Some recording requests may require payment before retrieval or custom reports are produced. The fee schedule says research and retrieval are billed after the first hour in 4-hour increments, with payment due upon submission. Custom reports are priced per business day. For a narrow request, document names, dates, parties, and recording details reduce cost and delay.

BOCC records are another reason to use the Pueblo County Clerk and Recorder rather than the state court clerk. The research identifies the county office as keeper of Board of County Commissioners resolutions, meeting minutes, and official audio. The same research notes that CivicPlus Public Portal access is active for meeting agendas, resolutions, minutes, audio, video, and livestreaming. Those materials are county-government records. They are useful for land-use, county policy, budget, and local administrative history, but they are not court dockets or District Court case files.

Election and motor vehicle duties also stay with the county office. The Clerk and Recorder is the Designated Election Official for county primary, general, and special elections, and acts as a Department of Revenue agent for registration, titles, plates, fees, handicap placards, and related inventory. Those roles can appear on the same office website as recording records, so users should choose the division that matches the record type before making a request.

Note: No county-clerk page_id image appeared in the successful manifest entries, so this page remains text-only.

Temporary closure notices should be checked on official county pages before an in-person visit. The research noted short-term 2026 election and fire-related closures, but those were not permanent office hours. The permanent researched hours for Recording and Clerk to the Board were Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

For county recording copies, the fee schedule distinguishes in-house prints, electronically transmitted documents, retrieved pages, certification, acknowledgments, research time, custom reports, and image-access plans. That level of detail is useful when a user needs a recorded land document or BOCC record, but it should not be carried over to state court case copies unless the court clerk confirms the charge.
