Adams County is in Level Red: Severe Risk on Colorado's COVID-19 Dial, which means "there is severe risk of COVID-19 spreading rapidly, while allowing some businesses to remain open at very limited capacity."
The Adams County Clerk & Recorder is working with Adams County Sheriff Rick Reigenborn and local law enforcement during the closure. Residents who are unable to renew registrations, renew new vehicles, get new plates or complete any necessary transaction will be given a letter to keep in their vehicles. The letter requests leniency from law enforcement but does not guarantee a ticket will not be issued.
Those who have appointments during the closure will be contacted.
