Erie Residents Directory Access
The Erie residents directory covers public records held by the town and two county governments. Erie spans both Weld County and Boulder County, which creates a split in where county-level records are filed. Your property records, for example, go through whichever county your address falls in. The Weld County Clerk at 1250 H Street in Greeley handles the Weld County portion, while the Boulder County Clerk at 1750 33rd Street in Boulder manages the Boulder County side. The Erie Town Clerk handles municipal records for the entire town regardless of which county your address is in.
Erie Quick Facts
Erie Town Clerk Records
The Erie Town Clerk manages municipal records for the entire town. This covers board of trustees meeting minutes, town ordinances, resolutions, and local permits. The town clerk serves all Erie residents regardless of whether their address falls in Weld or Boulder County. For any record created by the town government, this office is where you start your search.
Put your request in writing. CORA requires written requests. Email or a letter both work. Be clear about what records you want, including dates, names, and any other identifying details. The town must respond within three working days. Complex requests may take up to seven days if staff notify you of the extension. Most routine requests finish on time without problems.
Fees are standard. Black and white copies cost $0.25 per page. Color copies are $1.00. Electronic delivery is often free when the files are already digital. Research time past the first hour may be charged at the hourly rate of the staff member handling your request.
Weld County Records for Erie
The Weld County Clerk and Recorder handles property records, vital records, and other county documents for Erie addresses that fall within Weld County. The office is at 1250 H Street, Greeley, CO 80632. Call 970-304-6530 or email crstaff@weldgov.com. Most Erie addresses are in the Weld County portion of town, so this is likely where your county records are filed.
Property deeds, liens, and recorded instruments for the Weld County side of Erie go through this office. The county website has some online search tools that let you look up basic property information from home. For certified copies or documents that are not available online, contact the office directly or visit in person at the Greeley location.
Check your property tax bill to confirm which county your address falls in. This tells you exactly which clerk's office holds your property records. Getting this right from the start saves you from submitting a request to the wrong office and having to start over.
Boulder County Records for Erie
Erie addresses in the Boulder County portion go through the Boulder County Clerk and Recorder. That office is at 1750 33rd Street, Suite 200, Boulder, CO 80301. Phone is 303-413-7700. Email clerkandrecorder@bouldercounty.org. If your address is on the Boulder County side of Erie, this is where your property deeds and other county records are filed.
Both county clerks follow the same CORA rules. Same three-day response time. Same fee structure. The only difference is which office has your specific records. For some Erie residents, it might be necessary to check both counties, especially if you are searching records for multiple properties or addresses that span the county line. This dual-county situation is unusual in Colorado but manageable once you know which side of the line your address sits on.
Erie Court Records Access
Court cases for Erie residents may be filed in either Weld County or Boulder County courts depending on the specifics. The Colorado Courts search tool covers all courts statewide, so you can search both counties from one place. Enter a name or case number and the system will show results from any Colorado court.
Chief Justice Directive 05-01 governs what court records are available to the public. Most cases are open. Sealed cases do not appear in results. Juvenile cases and certain family matters have additional restrictions. If you need access to a sealed record, you must petition the court with a legal basis for your request.

This guide explains how to access court records and what rules apply to public access in Colorado courts.
Erie Criminal Justice Records
Criminal records follow C.R.S. sections 24-72-301 through 309, the CCJRA. This law is separate from CORA and applies specifically to law enforcement records. Active investigation files can be withheld. Closed cases become more accessible. The Erie Police Department handles local incident reports and accident reports for the town.
The Colorado Bureau of Investigation offers a statewide criminal history check that searches records from all law enforcement agencies in Colorado. A fee applies. Results take several business days. This is the most thorough single search available for criminal records in the state.

CORA Rights for Erie Residents
The Colorado Open Records Act, C.R.S. sections 24-72-200.1 through 205, gives you the right to inspect and copy public records. You do not need a reason. The law assumes records are open unless a specific statute protects them. Common exceptions include personnel files, active investigation records, and certain financial information.
Denials must cite a legal basis. If any office refuses your request, they have to tell you which specific law allows the refusal. You can challenge a denial by filing in district court. The court reviews the matter and decides whether the records should be released. Most everyday requests go through without a hitch. Problems are more likely with law enforcement records or documents tied to ongoing legal matters than with routine public files.
Erie State Government Resources
The Colorado state portal links to agencies and services across the state. Use it to find departments that may hold records about Erie residents at the state level. Professional licenses, vehicle records, and business registrations are among the many document types managed by state agencies rather than local offices.
The Secretary of State business entity search is free and lets you look up any business registered in Colorado. If your search involves a company operating in Erie, this tool shows registration details, agent information, and filing history. It is one of the most useful state resources for records searches.
Erie Records Fees and Costs
All offices handling Erie records follow the same fee structure set by state law. Copies are $0.25 per page for black and white. Color copies run $1.00 each. Electronic delivery is typically free. Certified copies carry additional fees that vary by document type and the issuing office.
Large requests may need a 50% deposit before work starts. The office will estimate costs first so you know what to expect. You can narrow the scope of your request to reduce fees. Specifying exact dates, particular document types, or specific addresses instead of broad searches keeps costs down and speeds up processing time.
Weld County Residents Directory
Erie straddles Weld and Boulder counties, but most of the town falls within Weld County. The Weld County Clerk and Recorder manages property records, vital records, and court filings for the Weld County portion. Visit the county page for more information about Weld County records and resources.
Nearby Colorado Cities
Several cities near Erie maintain their own records systems. Each has its own clerk and its own procedures. If your search spans multiple cities, you must contact each one separately. Records do not transfer between municipal offices automatically.
