Open Letter To Our Visitors

On behalf of the staff of Pitkin County, I am pleased to welcome you as a virtual visitor to the County website. Our primary objectives are to enhance your access to information, provide you with opportunities for civic engagement and provide a better understanding of the operations of your county government. We also believe this site will enhance customer service by providing you direct access to many items that are relevant to your needs and those of our visitors. We certainly believe that this virtual tool will serve the community well today and into the future and we hope that it is a productive and useful tool for you. Some of the benefits of the site include direct email access to the Board of County Commissioners, timely public meeting agendas and locations, general information on permits and licenses, press releases, alerts and bulletins, a calendar of events, and information about county departments with contact information.

This site is a work in progress so as you use the site, please feel free to contact us by email (info@co.pitkin.co.us) or phone (970-920-5200) and let us know if there are enhancements we can provide to assist you.

Thank you.
