Vehicle Titling
The following documents are required when titling a vehicle in Colorado:
Vehicle Titling and Registration
In Colorado, motor vehicles are titled and registered through the county clerk's office in the motor vehicle owner's county of residence. The owner may be able to title and register their vehicle at a self-service kiosk, located in specific counties throughout Colorado. Visit the self-service kiosk section of the DMV website for more information. Title and registration is required in Colorado:
Certified VIN Inspections
In some cases, a certified VIN inspection is required. The inspection conducted by a Peace Officers Standards and Training (P.O.S.T.) certified inspector uses forms provided by the Department of Revenue. The certified inspector checks both the public VIN (on the dashboard or another highly visible area) and discreet VINs (location provided by the vehicle manufacturer to law enforcement). The inspector checks both VINs against state and national databases of wanted and stolen vehicles. The following vehicles require a certified VIN inspection:
Vehicle Identification Number
A vehicle identification number (VIN) verification is a physical inspection to determine whether the VIN on a vehicle matches the VIN on the title. The verification also entails checking the VIN number on the vehicle against state and national databases of wanted and stolen vehicles. Vehicle owners new to the state of Colorado, or who recently purchased a vehicle with an out‑of‑state title, must get a VIN verification. VIN verifications are performed by Colorado law enforcement officers, licensed motor vehicle dealers, and licensed emissions testing stations, such as
Transportation Network Companies
Colorado has a limited regulatory structure for Transportation Network Companies (TNCs), such as Uber and Lyft, which sets forth certain requirements for both the driver and the TNC. Legislative Council Staff has prepared an Issue Brief on Transportation Network Companies, which provides more information about these regulations.
Point Suspension
Colorado law permits the point suspension of licenses of drivers who have been convicted of traffic violations and have exceeded a threshold number of points. Traffic citations received by drivers may result in a certain number of points being recorded against a driver license. Drivers who exceed the threshold within a certain time period are at risk of having their licenses suspended.
Penalties for Speeding Violations
Under Colorado law, a violation of driving 1 to 24 mph over the posted speed limit is a Class A traffic infraction. A violation of driving 25 mph or more over the posted limit is a Class 2 misdemeanor traffic offense. A violation of driving 25 mph or more over the posted limit in a construction zone is a Class 1 misdemeanor traffic offense. Failure of a driver to reduce vehicle speed to a reasonable and prudent level under hazardous conditions is a Class A traffic infraction.
State Speed Limits
Colorado law establishes speed limits for roads and highways within the state. The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and local authorities may change the speed limit for any road under their respective jurisdictions if the department or local authority determines that the speed limit established by law is greater or less than what is reasonable or safe for road or traffic conditions. Neither CDOT nor any local authority, however, may increase the speed limit above 75 miles per hour (mph) on any highway. The table below provides speed limits on Colorado roadways.
Specific Ownership Tax
The specific ownership tax was enacted in 1937 and is contained in Article X, Section 6, of the Colorado Constitution. The tax is based on the value of the vehicle and is paid each year that a vehicle is registered in Colorado. It is imposed on cars, trucks, trailers, mobile homes, and special mobile machinery. Further information on the specific ownership tax is available in Legislative Council Staff's Issue Brief on the Specific Ownership Tax.
