Search Denver Phone Numbers

Denver is both a city and a county, which makes its phone directory a bit different from most places in Colorado. One set of government offices handles all city and county tasks. The main phone number for Denver is 720-913-1311, and residents can also dial 3-1-1 for quick help. This directory page covers the key contacts, department phone numbers, court lines, and other ways to reach Denver offices. Whether you need a clerk, a court, or a city department, the numbers below can get you to the right person.

Denver City Government Phone Contacts

All Denver city services run through the consolidated City and County of Denver government. The main address is 201 W. Colfax Avenue, Denver, CO 80202.

TTY users can reach Denver at (720) 913-8479.

The Denver online staff directory is one of the fastest ways to find a direct line. You can search by last name, first name, or department. It pulls up phone numbers and email addresses for city staff. This saves time if you know who you need to reach in Denver but do not have their direct number.

When you call the main Denver number, staff can route you to any office. The 3-1-1 line works the same way but is only for calls made from within Denver.
