Centennial Phone Directory

The Centennial phone directory covers city contacts, Arapahoe County offices, and state agencies that serve this south Denver metro community. Centennial is a relatively young city, incorporated in 2001, and it operates under a council-manager form of government with a lean staff. The main city number is 303-325-8000. Because Centennial contracts out many services rather than running large departments, some phone numbers you need will route to Arapahoe County or to private service providers working on behalf of the city. This directory puts all of those contact numbers in one spot so you can find the right line on the first try.

Centennial City Hall Contacts

The main phone number for Centennial is 303-325-8000. Staff pick up Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. This line connects to Centennial Civic Center, which sits at 13133 E Arapahoe Rd, Centennial, CO 80112. If you call and are not sure which office you need, the front desk can point you in the right direction or transfer your call. You can also walk in during business hours for face-to-face help with permits, code questions, or general city matters.

Centennial does not run its own police or fire departments. The Arapahoe County Sheriff provides law enforcement, and South Metro Fire Rescue handles fire and EMS calls in the area. This is worth knowing before you dial, because calling Centennial city hall about a police report or fire inspection will just get you redirected. Those calls go through county or district lines instead.

The Centennial city website lists department contacts, meeting schedules, and online service forms. You can submit code complaints, check permit status, and find staff contact info through the site. It is often faster than calling, especially for questions that do not need a live conversation. The site also posts agendas and minutes from City Council meetings.

Note: Centennial closes on all state holidays. Call ahead if you plan to visit the Civic Center on a Friday, since some staff work compressed schedules.
