Pueblo County

What Pueblo County does

Pueblo County is a political subdivision and county government of the State of Colorado, established in 1861 and headquartered at the Pueblo County Courthouse at 215 W. 10th Street, Pueblo, Colorado. It is governed by an elected three-member Board of County Commissioners (Zach Swearingen, Chairman of District 3; Miles Lucero, District 1; Paula McPheeters, District 2), alongside other elected row officers including the Assessor, Clerk & Recorder, District Attorney, Sheriff, Treasurer, Surveyor, and Coroner. The county provides statutorily mandated public services across more than two dozen departments, including elections administration, property assessment and taxation, motor vehicle registration, vital records, public health (immunizations, WIC, restaurant inspections), human services (SNAP, child welfare, veteran services), law enforcement, planning and development permitting, parks and recreation, correctional services, and public works.

Its technology platform is a consolidated government services portal at county.pueblo.org, integrating third-party systems including CivicClerk for meeting management, CivicPlus for public participation, Clarity Elections for election results, GSACorp for property search, and ViewPoint Cloud for permitting, alongside a GIS/mapping system supporting property and spatial analysis. Service delivery combines the digital portal with a physical footprint comprising the main courthouse, a Pueblo West motor vehicle office with drive-thru on Routt, and a Colorado City satellite office.

The county's revenue model is non-commercial: funding derives from property taxes, sales taxes, state and federal grants (including CDOT Aeronautics, DOLA, and FLAP programs), and fees for motor vehicle services, recording documents, marriage licenses, vital records, building permits, and liquor/marijuana licensing. Its customer base is the entire resident and business population of Pueblo County, served on a non-discretionary basis under Colorado Revised Statutes. Strategic activity centers on a multi-year 1A Community Improvement Program capital pipeline encompassing HARP expansion, the Runyon Sports Complex, Arkansas River Trail extensions, and the Pueblo West aquatics center, often in partnership with the City of Pueblo and Pueblo West Metro District.
