The 271 incorporated municipalities of the State of Colorado operate under one of five types of municipal governing authority.[1][2]

Five types of municipal government

Consolidated City and County

The City and County of Denver is the more populous of the two Consolidated City and County governments in the State of Colorado.

In the State of Colorado, only Denver and Broomfield have consolidated city and county governments:

Home Rule Municipality

The City of Colorado Springs is the most populous Home Rule Municipality in the State of Colorado.

Colorado has 59 cities and 30 towns that are Home Rule Municipalities:

The historic City of Leadville, pictured here in the mid 20th Century, is a Statutory City.

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 Mayor.
The farming Town of Paonia is a Statutory Town.

Statutory Town

Colorado has 165 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.
The historic Town of Georgetown is the only Territorial Charter Municipality remaining in the State of Colorado.

Territorial Charter Municipality

Georgetown is the only Colorado municipality that still operates under a charter from the Territory of Colorado:

Legal distinctions

Colorado law makes relatively few distinctions between a city and a town. In general, cities are more populous than towns, although the Town of Castle Rock and the Town of Parker have more than 43,000 residents each, while the City of Black Hawk has fewer than 110 residents. The Central City municipality is named the City of Central, but the Commerce City municipality is officially named the City of Commerce City. 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.

In the State of Colorado, a municipality may extend into multiple counties.
