How to Find a Fort Collins Phone Number
There are a few ways to find the right phone number in the Fort Collins directory. The method you pick depends on what kind of contact you need and how fast you need it.
For city services, the Fort Collins Department Directory is the best starting point. It has every city office listed in one spot. If you want county services like the assessor, clerk, or sheriff, those go through Larimer County and you should check the Larimer County phone directory instead. Fort Collins is the county seat, so most county offices are in town, but they run on separate phone systems from the city. That catches some people off guard. A call meant for the city water department ends up at the county and vice versa.
For state-level contacts, use the statewide directories on the Colorado government website. Court phone numbers for Fort Collins cases are on the Colorado Judicial Branch site. DMV numbers go through the state as well. The city directory only covers city-run departments and services, so if your question involves state or county functions, you will need a different phone number than what the Fort Collins city directory shows.
Note: If you call the wrong office, ask the person who answers to transfer you or give you the right number. Staff in Fort Collins and Larimer County offices are used to these mix-ups and can usually point you to the correct line quickly.
Larimer County Phone Directory
Fort Collins sits in Larimer County, and county offices handle many of the records and services that residents need on a regular basis. The county assessor, clerk, sheriff, and treasurer all have their own phone numbers. Since Fort Collins is the county seat, most Larimer County offices are right here in town. For the full list of county contacts, department phone numbers, and elected official lines, see the Larimer County phone directory page.
