Wellington is a statutory town, which means it follows state law for its government structure rather than having its own charter. The town board sets policy and the town administrator runs day-to-day operations. Board meetings are held on select Mondays at 4:30 p.m. Agendas and minutes are posted on the town website ahead of each meeting.
Wellington Department Phone Numbers
Wellington runs several departments out of the Municipal Services Building and other town facilities. Each one handles a different area of town business. Here are the key departments and how to reach them.
The Town Clerk office manages public records, elections, liquor licenses, and meeting agendas. Call the main line at 970-568-3381 and ask for the clerk. The clerk is also the place to go if you need to file a records request under C.R.S. 24-72-201, which is the Colorado Open Records Act. Under that law, you can ask for most town documents and Wellington must respond within three business days. The Building and Planning Department handles permits, zoning questions, and land use reviews. Their direct line is 970-821-5078. If you are starting a construction project or need to check setback rules for your property, that is the office to call. Wellington contracts with SAFEbuilt for building inspections, so permit questions may sometimes go through that contractor as well.
Public Works takes care of streets, parks, and town buildings. Utility billing runs through a separate phone option. Call 970-568-3381 and press option 2 for water, sewer, and storm drainage billing questions. You can also pay your utility bill online through the town website. Wellington runs its own municipal water and wastewater systems, so these are town services rather than county ones.
Wellington Public Safety Contacts
Wellington does not have its own police department. Law enforcement comes from the Larimer County Sheriff's Office, which has a Wellington patrol squad. The LCSO Wellington Substation is at 3735 Cleveland Avenue. For emergencies, dial 911. For non-emergency matters, call the Larimer County Sheriff at 970-498-5100. Deputies assigned to the Wellington squad handle calls within the town limits and the surrounding area.
Fire protection in Wellington comes from the Wellington Fire Protection District. This is a separate special district, not a town department. The fire station is at 8130 Third Street. Call 970-568-3232 for non-emergency fire district questions. The district covers Wellington and parts of the surrounding rural area in northern Larimer County.
Wellington Municipal Court handles violations of town ordinances. Court sessions are held on the second Wednesday of each month at 2:00 p.m. The court meets at the Municipal Services Building. Call the main town line at 970-568-3381 for questions about court dates or fines. For anything beyond municipal ordinance cases, you will need to go through the Larimer County courts in Fort Collins, which are part of the 8th Judicial District.

Wellington Public Records Search
Public records in Wellington fall under both town and county rules. Town records like meeting minutes, budgets, permits, and contracts go through the Wellington Town Clerk. County records like property deeds, court filings, and vital records go through Larimer County offices in Fort Collins.

You can submit a request in writing, by email, or through the town website. There is no set form you have to use. Just describe what you want clearly enough that staff can find it. Some records may have fees for copies or staff time, but the town must tell you the cost before they start working on it.
Court records for Wellington cases go through the 8th Judicial District in Larimer County. The Colorado Judicial Branch website has a free case search tool that covers every court in the state. You can look up cases by name or case number without creating an account. Most civil and criminal records are public under C.R.S. 24-72-301, the Criminal Justice Records Act, though some records may be sealed or restricted.

Wellington Library and Community
The Wellington Public Library is at 3800 Wilson Avenue. Call 970-568-3040 for hours, programs, and services.

Staff there can help with basic computer access, printing, and reference questions. The library also provides some legal help resources and can point you to places that handle records requests if you are not sure where to start.
Wellington has been growing fast. What was a small rural town north of Fort Collins has added thousands of residents in the past decade. That growth means more people calling town hall, more building permit requests, and more demand on every town department. If you get a busy signal or land in voicemail, try again in the morning or leave a message. Staff at Wellington are generally good about calling back within the same day.
Reaching Wellington Offices by Phone
Wellington is a small town. Hold times are short. But a few tips help. Call in the morning between 8:30 and 10:00 for the best chance of getting someone on the first ring. Avoid Monday mornings if you can. Mid-week calls tend to go faster at both town and county offices.
Have your details ready. If you are calling about a property, know the address or parcel number. For court matters, have the case number. For utility billing, have your account number handy. These small things speed up your call and help staff pull up your information right away. For records requests, a written submission by email often works better than a phone call because it gives staff a clear record of what you need and when you asked for it.
