SAN MIGUEL COUNTY CLERK AND RECORDER’S OFFICE SERVICE UPDATE
** Updated March 31, 2021
All Clerk and Recorder’s departments located at the San Miguel County Courthouse in Telluride* (MOTOR VEHICLE, RECORDING, ELECTIONS, and VITAL STATISTICS) are available in person, on a walk in basis beginning April 1, 2021. We will no longer be scheduling appointments for the Telluride location.
All Clerk departments are accessible via the WEST side entrance to the courthouse (via the courtyard where the Galloping Goose train used to be). All customers MUST wear a mask while inside the building.
There is a maximum of 3 people waiting for service inside the building until further notice.
While we are very excited to welcome customers into the building and provide our services in person as needed, we encourage all customers to process their transactions by mail, dropbox, or online whenever possible in order to help limit the in person traffic.
Please see the links on the left menu bar for specific instructions for your transactions.
*The Motor Vehicle department at the Norwood location (Glockson Building) will continue to be on an appointment basis ONLY, open for appointments on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Please click on the “Motor Vehicle” tab for more information.
