Searching the Georgetown Court Docket
Pull out your most recent ticket, summons, order, or hearing notice before anything else. The town posts no public online portal for municipal or citation dockets. So a local ordinance case starts with the town contact printed on your papers. State matters are different. A County Court or District Court hearing shows up in the Colorado Judicial Docket Search for Clear Creek, though that result gives hearing details rather than the full case history behind a Georgetown matter.
Work a Georgetown docket search in that order.
- Identify whether the notice names Georgetown Municipal Court, Clear Creek County Court, or Clear Creek District Court.
- For a town matter, contact Georgetown with the ticket, name, and appearance details shown on the paper.
- For a state matter, search by county plus a date and another filter, such as year/class/sequence or party name.
- Compare the result with the newest signed notice and note the hearing type, room, and appearance mode.
- Ask the town clerk or combined-courts clerk for confirmation and the record product that fits the case.
Georgetown Town and County Dockets
Georgetown wears two hats: municipality and county seat. Neither hat merges its court records. Georgetown Municipal Court is its own qualified court of record, handling Town-code and adopted-ordinance violations. Clear Creek County Court takes state misdemeanors, state traffic, small claims, and limited civil cases. The heavier cases move up a level. Felonies, larger civil disputes, domestic relations, probate, and juvenile matters all sit with Clear Creek District Court.
| Record | First custodian | First search route |
|---|---|---|
| Town ordinance or municipal ticket | Georgetown municipal clerk | Paper notice and town contact |
| State traffic or misdemeanor | Clear Creek Combined Courts clerk | Colorado Judicial calendar |
| Felony or major civil case | Clear Creek Combined Courts clerk | Colorado Judicial calendar, then record request |
One wrinkle arrived in 2025. A town ordinance lets the Georgetown Board authorize the Clear Creek County judge to hear town violations. That permission can shift where your case is actually heard, so confirm the court listed on your live notice rather than assuming every Georgetown ordinance setting happens at Town Hall.
Georgetown Municipal Court Basics
The Georgetown municipal code establishes the court as a court of record. It has power over Town code and adopted-ordinance violations. It can grant nuisance relief, issue subpoenas, and sign warrants within local jurisdiction. Those powers go well beyond a payment window. Still, they stop short of what Colorado's state trial courts can do.
The code chapter anchors the Georgetown municipal docket in the Town's own law, but it is not a live case list. For a specific setting, rely on the town clerk or your current court notice.
Find Georgetown Town Hall at 404 6th Street. Mail goes to P.O. Box 426, Georgetown, Colorado. The main town phone is 303-569-2555. Use those channels for a municipal case unless your current notice sends the matter to an authorized county judge or another location.
Georgetown Court Records at Argentine
Georgetown's countywide court work happens at 405 Argentine Street. Clear Creek County Court and Clear Creek District Court both operate there, backed by a single Colorado Judicial Branch clerk office. Sharing a ZIP code with the Town municipal court does not make them the same court.
Clear Creek County Combined Courts
405 Argentine Street
Georgetown, Colorado 80444
Mail: P.O. Box 367, Georgetown, CO 80444
303-569-0820
At the combined-courts counter, staff can confirm a state setting, take a record-research request, and hand over a Register of Actions or a plain, certified, or exemplified copy when available. The official site makes no promise that a public terminal there offers more than the web calendar does. If terminal access matters to your trip, call first.
Court Dates and Settings in Georgetown
For a Georgetown town setting, go to the municipal notice or the town clerk. The town offers no public docket portal. A state setting shows in the Colorado Judicial calendar once it is public. It also has to fit the search filters. Results may list IN PERSON, VIRTUAL, or leave the appearance field blank. Only a current order or word from the court itself settles how you must appear.
| Date | The present hearing day, which may change after a continuance or reset. |
|---|---|
| Time | The start time and, on state results, an estimated duration. |
| Courtroom | The town location or a state division such as courtroom C or J. |
| Judge | The judicial officer currently assigned to the Georgetown matter. |
| Setting Type | The event, such as arraignment, pretrial, show cause, trial, or disposition. |
Remember that a calendar is just the current schedule. It is not a full case ledger. A reset can quietly swap one date for another without spelling out the motions or orders in between.
Georgetown Court Calendar Conflicts
A web calendar and a paper notice can disagree. Do not simply pick the version you like better. Compare the filing court, full case number, hearing type, and date across both. Then call the court and report the conflict. A signed order may be newer than the printed result. Or the live calendar may reflect a reset issued after the older notice went out.
Do not miss the setting. A blank appearance type or missing Georgetown search result is not proof that the hearing was canceled.
For a Clear Creek state case, dial 303-569-0820. Town cases go to Georgetown at 303-569-2555. If a remote appearance is listed, consult the Judicial Branch Digital Court directory only after the court confirms the case may proceed that way.
Traffic Tickets in Georgetown
Read a Georgetown ticket closely before anything else. It names the court that issued it. It also tells you whether you must appear. Some matters always go to court in Georgetown. That list includes high-point violations on the published list, serious accidents, careless driving, restraint or insurance problems, contested tickets, school or construction-zone cases, criminal or code charges, and juvenile matters. Paying a fine never overrides an order to appear.
The town's fee schedule adds up quickly. Expect a $25 court cost plus a 20 percent surcharge. A deferred judgment or sentence costs $45, and an active condition costs $45. An OJW or penalty assessment costs $30. A warrant, jury request, or show cause adds $25 each. Base fines by points climb from $40 at zero points to $210 at six points, before the surcharge. School or construction-zone amounts double. Schedules shift, so confirm current Georgetown court rules before you pay or fight the ticket.
A state ticket takes a different road through Clear Creek County Court. The county traffic ticket resource maps that state calendar and payment line. It does not treat the Town fine schedule as a state docket.
Georgetown Court Fine Schedule
The official Georgetown fine schedule breaks out base fines, added costs, and the charges that demand a court appearance. Paying is never a substitute for reading the ticket. Some Georgetown charges must be heard by a judge no matter what a table lists.
| Published item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Court cost | $25 |
| Surcharge | 20 percent |
| Deferred judgment or sentence | $45 |
| OJW or penalty assessment | $30 |
| Warrant, jury request, or show cause | $25 each |
Remember what this document is. The schedule is a Georgetown municipal source, so it quotes no Clear Creek County Court balance and reveals no full municipal docket history.
Where Georgetown Cases Go
Where a case lands depends on the charge. Town-code and adopted-ordinance cases stay inside the Georgetown municipal system unless venue or the review route changes by law. State misdemeanors and state traffic cases are filed in Clear Creek County Court. Felonies, larger civil matters, domestic relations, probate, juvenile, and mental-health cases all belong to Clear Creek District Court, part of the Colorado Fifth Judicial District.
Docket flow: Georgetown Municipal Court › Clear Creek County Courts › District Court (Colorado Fifth Judicial District)
These tiers describe levels, not a ladder you must climb. Georgetown's oddity is geography. The town forum and the countywide state courts sit in the same municipality. Yet their records stay separate. For more on the state route, see the Clear Creek County court docket overview.
Georgetown Court Clerk Counter Hours
The combined courthouse keeps building hours of Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The clerk counter shuts daily from noon to 1 p.m. Staff meetings close it from 4 to 5 p.m. on the first Tuesday and third Thursday too. Those windows are narrower. Plan around them if you want to inspect a record or hand in a request in person.
Protection-order paperwork runs on its own clock. File before 4 p.m. on a business day for same-day completion, processing, and judicial review. Anything later gets handled promptly the next business day. Note the cutoff applies to the Clear Creek state court at 405 Argentine. It does not apply to every Georgetown municipal case.
Mail for the combined courts goes to P.O. Box 367. Call the clerk at 303-569-0820. The records office can suggest current email or fax routing before you send sensitive data.
Georgetown Court Record Access Rules
Two offices hold the records. Public Georgetown municipal records come from the town court. Public state case records come from the Clerk of Court, Clear Creek County Combined Courts. The free state docket search lists hearing events. The clerk's Register of Actions indexes every filing, order, setting, and disposition in order. Sealed files, juvenile records, and protected identifiers stay restricted or limited to an authorized person.
Key rules:
Chief Justice Directive 05-01 establishes the Colorado Judicial Branch framework for access to court case records.
Colorado Open Records Act, C.R.S. sections 24-72-200.1 through 24-72-205, applies to many public records, but court case files use judicial access rules.
Colorado court rules include civil and criminal limits on access to court files.
A docket entry is a working court reference, never a certified judgment. When you need the official form of a Georgetown-related record, ask the clerk for an authenticated copy.
Georgetown Town Docket Source
Start at the official Town of Georgetown site for current town contacts and municipal notices.
That town homepage marks the right local government source. It is not itself a public Georgetown citation search, so contacting the office remains the way to reach a specific municipal file.
Keep town and state requests apart. The Town clerk handles Georgetown municipal questions. The Judicial Branch clerk handles County Court and District Court files at the combined courthouse.
Georgetown Federal Court Docket Boundary
A federal case tied to Georgetown lives in neither the Town nor the Clear Creek state docket. The U.S. District Court for the District of Colorado CM/ECF resource explains that separate federal filing system and its docket environment.
This federal source sits outside the normal Georgetown town-to-county route. A municipal ticket never shows up in CM/ECF. The same goes for a County Court case or a District Court case. Georgetown is the county seat, but that status changes nothing. Reach for federal systems only when the caption or notice names a federal court. That boundary keeps a local Georgetown docket search from wandering into a database that cannot hold the town record you want.
