Public Records

The Town Clerk is the official custodian of Vail’s municipal records and the Town Clerk's office is responsible for the retention and disposition of municipal records in accordance with state statute and municipal ordinance.

Members of the public may request copies of most municipal records by completing a public records request form. This form is used to obtain records of a more complex nature, requiring research and the compilation of documents and information from a variety of sources. However, many requests can be handled by contacting the department directly for records produced as part of their normal course of business. 

For the Town of Vail’s Public Records Policy concerning the public’s right to access public records pursuant to the Colorado Open Records Act, C.R.S. §24-72-200.1, et seq., (“CORA”) regarding open records, inspection of records, and fees for obtaining such records, please view this link: Resolution No. 19, Series of 2014.  To access additional information about the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA), please view the Secretary of State’s website link as well: sos.state.co.us/pubs/info_center/cora.html

For more information about public records and making a records request with the Town of Vail, please contact the Town Clerk's Office, 970-479-2136 or email Patty McKenny at pmckenny@vailgov.com.
