Grand County Traffic Court Records Search
State traffic infractions, traffic misdemeanors, and most traffic offenses prosecuted under Colorado law can be filed in Grand County Court. The 14th Judicial District Attorney handles Traffic Code violations including most traffic offenses. The Colorado Judicial Online Payment System is a payment and obligation lookup channel for fees, fines, costs, restitution, and tickets. It is not a full court-record archive.
The Colorado DMV tickets and penalty assessments source assigned to Grand County traffic court records shows the state traffic payment context.
Use that state payment context for penalty assessment questions, but use the court or municipal channel named on the citation for case status.

Grand County Traffic Court Split
Grand County traffic records do not all sit in one place. State traffic cases may be in Grand County Court at the Judicial Center. Municipal traffic, parking, animal, and code violations may be in Fraser/Winter Park Combined Municipal Court or Granby Municipal Court. A citation written into Grand County Court should not be paid through the Fraser/Winter Park municipal payment page.
| Court or Office | Traffic Matters | Contact or Location |
|---|---|---|
| Grand County Court | State traffic infractions, traffic misdemeanors, and county court traffic cases | 307 Moffat Avenue, Hot Sulphur Springs; 970-725-3357 |
| Fraser/Winter Park Combined Municipal Court | Traffic, parking, animal, and municipal code violations | Winter Park Town Hall, 50 Vasquez Road; 970-722-7779 |
| Granby Municipal Court | Granby citation payment and municipal traffic matters | 970-887-2501; mail to P.O. Box 1850, Granby, CO 80446 |
| Colorado DMV | Driver record, license status, points, suspension, and reinstatement records | myDMV, mail, or appointment-based office request |
The Town of Fraser municipal court source confirms the shared municipal court arrangement with Winter Park.
That municipal split matters for payment, court date, and failure-to-appear questions.
Pay or Contest Grand County Tickets
The first step is reading the ticket. A payment path that works for one town may not work for another court. Winter Park warns that citations past the 20-day payment window will not be accepted and become summonses requiring appearance at the date, time, and place on the front of the citation. Granby states that payment must be received within 20 days of issuance to qualify for reduced points.
- Identify the court named on the citation: Grand County Court, Granby Municipal Court, or Fraser/Winter Park Municipal Court.
- For Grand County Court, use the Colorado Judicial Online Payment System or call 970-725-3357.
- For Granby Municipal Court, pay online, by phone, in person, through the drop box, or by mail.
- For Fraser/Winter Park Municipal Court, pay online, by phone, or by mail within the 20-day window when payment is allowed.
- If the citation requires appearance or the payment window has passed, follow the summons and contact the listed court.
- For license points, status, or suspension history, request a DMV driving record separately.
Grand County Municipal Citations
Winter Park Municipal Court is held on the third Thursday of each month at 1 p.m. in Winter Park Town Hall. It hears traffic, parking, animal, and municipal code violations and does not hear civil or felony cases. Fraser and Winter Park operate the Combined Municipal Court by intergovernmental agreement. Some charges require appearance, while others may be resolved by mailing a fine.
The Granby municipal citation source documents several payment channels for municipal citations.
Granby accepts online e-check, debit, or credit payments, phone payments, in-person cash or check, after-hours drop-box payments, and mailed payments.
Grand County Traffic Record Fields
No official sample traffic case record was opened in the research. Expected Grand County traffic court record fields come from the official payment, docket, court, municipal, and DMV systems described in the research. Do not treat these as one single public profile. The record source controls which fields appear and whether the item is a court case record or a driver-history record.
| Field | What It Shows |
|---|---|
| Ticket or citation number | The number printed on a traffic citation or used in payment lookup. |
| Case number | The court case identifier when the citation has been filed with a court. |
| County or court | Grand County Court, Fraser/Winter Park Municipal Court, Granby Municipal Court, or another listed venue. |
| Court date | The required appearance date or scheduled hearing date. |
| Charge or statute | The traffic offense, municipal code issue, or state traffic allegation. |
| Plea or disposition | The result, such as paid, dismissed, pled, judgment entered, or other court action. |
| Fine, costs, or restitution | Amounts due through court or payment systems when public and applicable. |
| FTA, summons, or warrant status | Failure-to-appear or summons consequences when shown by the responsible court. |
Traffic Court vs Driver Record
A court traffic record is not a Colorado DMV driving record. The court file tracks the citation, charge, court date, plea or disposition, fine, payment status, and failure-to-appear consequences. A DMV motor vehicle record tracks license history, convictions reported to DMV, points, suspension status, and driver-history information.
| Point of Comparison | Court Traffic Record | Colorado DMV Driver Record |
|---|---|---|
| Source | Grand County Court or municipal court | Colorado DMV |
| Shows | Citation, case, charge, court date, fine, plea, disposition, and payment status | License status, driving history, reported convictions, points, and suspensions |
| Access | Court payment system, docket, municipal court, or court document request | myDMV online, mail request, or appointment-based office request |
| Error correction | Contact the court that holds the citation or case record | Use DMV record channels for driver-history or license-record issues |
The Colorado DMV motor vehicle record source shows the separate state driver-record channel.
Request a DMV driver record when the question is points, license status, or driver history rather than the court case file.
Grand County Driver Record Requests
Colorado DMV states that non-certified or certified driving records can be requested online through myDMV, with online copies emailed within 24 hours. The myDMV help center says to create an account, verify identity, select Available Services, and request a driving record. By mail, use DR 2559 Permission for Release of Individual Records and mail it to Colorado Department of Revenue, Division of Motor Vehicles, P.O. Box 173350, Denver, CO 80217-3350 with check or money order for the applicable fee.
The myDMV help source explains the online account path for driver-record requests.
DMV records may take 5 to 10 business days after receipt when requested by mail.
Grand County Traffic Fees
Use only fees supported by the research. Grand County traffic payment amounts vary by citation, court, case status, and whether the matter is state or municipal. The research supports a few fixed fee or timing facts, but not a full statewide schedule of every traffic penalty. Ask the listed court before assuming an amount resolves the case.
| Item | Amount or Rule |
|---|---|
| Winter Park court cost when a person chooses to come to court | $50 |
| Fraser/Winter Park citation payment window | Payment must be made or postmarked within 20 days when eligible. |
| Granby reduced-points payment rule | Payment must be received within 20 days of citation issuance. |
| Colorado Judicial Online Payment timing | Payments made after 4:00 p.m. are applied the following business day. |
| DMV driver record fee | Use the current DMV amount shown during the request process. |
Grand County DUI and CDL
DUI and criminal traffic matters can move beyond ordinary traffic-infraction handling. The 14th Judicial District Attorney handles Colorado Criminal Code and Traffic Code violations, including all felonies, misdemeanors, and most traffic offenses. A Grand County DUI or criminal traffic case may therefore belong with the criminal case file, court docket, bond order, and sentencing record, not just a payment screen.
Grand County law enforcement news also described a DUI and high-visibility enforcement task force involving Kremmling Police Department, Granby Police Department, and Fraser Winter Park Police Department. That supports the practical point that enforcement can start with town police but route to the appropriate town or state court. For filed charges and outcomes, use the Grand County criminal court records path.
Colorado-specific commercial driver consequences were not fully verified in the research file. CDL holders should use the court named on the citation and DMV driver-record channels before assuming that payment, reduction, or a course will protect a license status.
Public Access to Traffic Records
Grand County traffic court records are subject to the same public-access framework as other Colorado court and criminal justice records. Dockets may show hearing information, while case documents may require a record/document request. Criminal justice records held by sheriff or police agencies are handled under Colorado criminal justice records rules, and some records or fields may be restricted by statute, court rule, court order, or protected status.
Key access rules: C.R.S. 24-72-203 covers public-record inspection procedure, while C.R.S. 24-72-305 allows denial of criminal justice records when law, court rule, court order, or public-interest limits apply.
