Clear Creek County · 5th Judicial District · Rules v2026.2, current through July 1, 2026
Seal a record in Clear Creek County, Colorado
If your case was handled in Clear Creek County, the motion to seal goes back to the same court, under the same case number. That court sits in the 5th Judicial District.
The law is the same in all 64 counties. What changes locally is where you file, and how a particular clerk's office wants the paperwork.
Where you file
- Judicial district
- 5th Judicial District
- Courthouse town
- Georgetown
- Which court
- Clear Creek County runs a combined court, so county court and district court share one courthouse. File in the division that handled your case.
- Municipal cases
- A city ticket handled in a municipal court is sealed in that municipal court, not here. The forms and the statute differ.
What it costs here
- $224 filing fee for a petition to seal, paid to the Clear Creek County clerk of court, not to us. Often less or nothing when the motion is filed into your existing criminal case.
- $6 for your own criminal history from the Colorado Bureau of Investigation. Get this first.
- A fee waiver is available from the clerk if you cannot pay.
- Nothing else is owed to any court in this process.
Whether you qualify yet
Eligibility is state law, not county practice. C.R.S. § 24-72-706 sets the waiting periods, the exclusions and the intervening-conviction rules, and they read the same in Georgetown as in Denver.
The Check below reads that statute against your own dates and gives you a dated answer, free, without asking who you are.
Common questions
Do I have to go to the courthouse in Georgetown?
Usually not in person. Colorado allows remote appearances for sealing matters, and many motions are granted with no hearing at all when the district attorney does not object.
I moved away from Clear Creek County. Where do I file?
Still in Clear Creek County. The motion goes to the court that entered the judgment, whatever state you live in now.
