Colorado municipalities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 270 incorporated municipalities of the State of Colorado operate under one of five types of municipal governing authority granted by the state:^[1][2]

• Consolidated City and County – Only Denver and Broomfield have consolidated city and county governments:
  • The City and County of Denver operates under Article XX, Section 4 of the Constitution of the State of Colorado; and Title 30, Article 11, Section 101 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. Denver has an elected Mayor and a City Council of 13 members with 11 members elected from council districts and two members elected at large. Denver is one of the few cities in the world to have both a Police Department and a Sheriff's Department.
  • The City and County of Broomfield operates under Article XX, Sections 10-13 of the Constitution of the State of Colorado. Broomfield has an appointed City and County Manager, an elected Mayor, and a City Council of 11 members composed of the Mayor and two members elected from each of five wards.
• Home Rule Municipality – Colorado has 58 cities and 28 towns that are Home Rule Municipalities:
  • Colorado Home Rule Municipalities are self-governing under Article XX of the Constitution of the State of Colorado; Title 31, Article 1, Section 202 of the Colorado Revised Statutes; and the Home Rule Charter of each municipality. The Home Rule Charter determines the form of government. A Colorado Home Rule Municipality may declare itself to be either a city or a town.
• Statutory City – Colorado has 14 Statutory Cities:
  • Colorado Statutory Cities operate under Title 31, Article 1, Section 203 and Article 4, Section 100 or Section 200 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. Statutory Cities have an elected Mayor and a City Council composed of the Mayor and two members elected from each ward. A Statutory City may petition to reorganize as a Section 200 Statutory City with an appointed City Manager and a City Council with two members elected from each ward and one member elected at large. The Mayor may be the City Council member elected at large or the City Council may appoint a Major.
• Statutory Town – Colorado has 167 Statutory Towns:
  • Colorado Statutory Towns operate under Title 31, Article 1, Section 203 and Article 4, Section 300 of the Colorado Revised Statutes. Statutory Towns have an elected Mayor and a Board of Trustees composed of the Mayor and four or six additional members elected at large.
• Territorial Charter Municipality – Georgetown is the only Colorado municipality that still operates under a charter from the Territory of Colorado:
  • The Town of Georgetown operates under Article XIV, Section 13 of the Charter & Constitution of the Colorado Territory. The town mayor is called the Police Judge and the town council is called the Board of Selectmen.

Colorado law makes relatively few distinctions between a city and a town. In general, cities are more populous than towns, although the Town of Parker and the Town of Castle Rock have more than 35,000 residents each, while the City of Black Hawk has fewer than 120 residents. The Town of Garden City, the Town of Lake City, the Town of Orchard City, and the Town of Sugar City are statutory towns despite the word City at the end of their name.

Village and township are not civil divisions in the State of Colorado, although the City of Cherry Hills Village, the City of Greenwood Village, the Town of Log Lane Village, the Town of Mountain Village, and the Town of Snowmass Village have the word Village at the end of their names. Several resort communities use the word Village to describe their central business district.
