Town of Windsor Colorado

What Town of Windsor Colorado does

The Town of Windsor, Colorado is a municipal government entity founded in 1882 and operating as a home rule municipality under a Home Rule Charter, located in Northern Colorado between the Rocky Mountain foothills and the eastern plains. The jurisdiction spans both Weld County and Larimer County and provides municipal services to a population that has grown to more than 40,000 residents according to the 2024 Comprehensive Plan update. Services delivered include public safety, water and sewer utilities, stormwater management, parks and recreation, transportation infrastructure, community development, and general government administration.

Service delivery is hybrid, combining in-person transactions at Town Hall (301 Walnut Street) and the Community Development office (200 N. 11th Street) with self-serve online portals. The technology stack relies on third-party civic technology platforms rather than internally developed products: the Community Core portal handles building permits, the MunIRevs portal handles liquor licensing and business registration, and a Power BI-based Financial Transparency Portal exposes municipal financials. The Town's only meaningfully proprietary technology is the Windsor Information and Navigation Gateway (WING), an interactive GIS mapping platform that integrates property searches, development activity tracking, and park/trail exploration. Regulatory partnerships span Colorado Energy & Carbon Management Commission, CDOT, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Colorado Department of Revenue, and the Windsor-Severance Fire Rescue; SAFEbuilt is contracted for third-party building inspections.

The Town's revenue mechanics are those of a typical home rule Colorado municipality: a 3.65% local sales tax on tangible personal property sold at retail (including food for home consumption and taxable services), building permit fees scaled to project valuation, annual liquor license fees, and utility billing. Business/sales tax licensing was made free of charge effective July 1, 2023 as an economic development incentive. The Town operates under codified planning documents — a Strategic Plan (first adopted 2008, updated 2022 through 2027), a Comprehensive Plan updated in Spring 2024, and a multi-modal Transportation Master Plan adopted Spring 2020 — which collectively set the framework for capital investment and land use decisions. Governance is provided by an elected Town Board led by Mayor Julie Cline.
