Superior Quick Facts
Superior Town Clerk Records
The Superior Town Clerk keeps municipal records for the town government. These include board of trustees meeting minutes, town ordinances, resolutions, and administrative files. When your search involves a record created by the town of Superior, the clerk is the right contact. Call or email ahead of time to confirm the record exists and to learn how to submit a formal written request.
Written requests are the standard under CORA. Put your request in an email or letter and describe what you need. Staff must respond within three working days. If the request is unusually broad or touches several departments, the town may extend the deadline to seven working days and will let you know about the extra time needed.
Fees match the statewide rates. Copies cost $0.25 per page for black and white and $1.00 for color. Electronic copies are usually free when files already exist in digital form. Research time beyond the first hour can be billed at an hourly rate based on staff costs.

CORA Rights in Superior
C.R.S. sections 24-72-200.1 through 205 guarantee your right to access public records. The law does not require you to state a reason for your request. Government records are presumed open. Only statutory exceptions allow an office to deny access, and the office must cite the specific exception when it does so.
If you believe a denial is improper, you can appeal to the district court. The court reviews the denial and decides whether the records should be released. Legal aid resources may be able to help with an appeal if you need assistance. In most cases, however, routine requests are fulfilled without any problems. Denials tend to involve law enforcement files, personnel records, or documents connected to active litigation rather than standard public documents.
Superior Records Fee Details
Standard fees apply across all Superior records requests. Black and white copies are $0.25 each. Color copies cost $1.00 per page. Ask about electronic delivery since digital files are often free. Certified copies have extra fees that depend on the document and the office.
For large requests, a 50% deposit may be required before staff begin pulling records. The office will give you a cost estimate first. You can then decide to proceed, narrow the scope, or cancel. This deposit policy exists because large requests take significant staff time. Narrowing your request by date range, department, or document type can cut costs considerably.
