Bannock Street · Lindsey-Flanigan · Denver County Court
Denver County Court operates in several downtown buildings. Most traffic matters use the City and County Building, but DUI cases are heard in the criminal division at Lindsey-Flanigan. The current schedule and courtroom—not the word “Denver” alone—identify the destination.

Which court is on your paperwork?
Denver’s city-and-county structure does not place every matter in one building. The Traffic Division is at 1437 Bannock Street; DUI and other criminal or municipal matters use 520 W. Colfax Avenue. Search the current case schedule before appearing.
1437 Bannock Street
Denver, CO 80202
The official court page lists traffic tickets and court appearances among the services at the Room 135 Clerk’s Office.
520 W. Colfax Avenue
Denver, CO 80204
The official court page lists criminal and municipal appearances, records and driving-under-restraint appointments at this location.
Rooms 135 and 160 are clerk offices, not necessarily the final courtroom. Denver County Court warns that cases showing those room numbers may be reassigned to an official courtroom within 48 hours of the court date.
Denver’s official Traffic Division page says it handles most traffic matters but that DUI cases are heard exclusively in the criminal division. It also distinguishes payable tickets showing a reduced-point offer from tickets requiring an appearance. The actual ticket and current case schedule control.
Two buildings · different divisions
Denver County Court’s city-and-county structure is unusual. The same court operates from several downtown buildings, but traffic, DUI, criminal, municipal and probation functions are not all assigned to the same clerk or address.
Traffic & Civil Divisions
The Traffic and Civil clerk is at 1437 Bannock Street, Room 135. Denver lists traffic tickets, traffic court appearances, civil matters, records and cashier services at this building.
The official Traffic Division page says most traffic matters are heard in that division—but expressly excludes DUI. A ticket without a reduced-point offer and fine directs the person to Room 135, subject to the current court instructions.
Review Denver Traffic Division →Criminal & Municipal Divisions
The Criminal and Municipal clerk is at 520 W. Colfax Avenue, Room 160. Denver lists criminal, municipal and juvenile appearances, driving-under-restraint appointments, records and cashier services at this building.
Denver says DUI cases are heard exclusively in the criminal division. Use the summons, case number and current schedule to find the assigned courtroom; Room 160 identifies the clerk, not necessarily the final courtroom.
Review division contacts →Ordinary traffic, DUI, driving under restraint and municipal cases can route to different divisions even though all are within Denver County Court.
Record the case number, listed room, hearing date and every later notice. Do not rely on a screenshot of an older schedule.
Search the current case schedule close to the appearance date because a clerk-room designation may be reassigned to a courtroom.
Read the ticket · verify the link
The official pages distinguish payable offers, required appearances, participant meeting links, public livestreams and clerk-office room numbers. Treat each as a separate instruction.
Reduced-point offer shown
Denver says a traffic ticket showing reduced points and a fine on its face may be searched in the Public Portal. One published option is to plead guilty and pay before the court appearance.
That option is a plea, not merely an administrative transaction. This guide does not recommend payment or predict the effect on points, insurance, employment or a commercial license. Review the exact charge and offer before acting.
Read Denver’s ticket options →No offer shown
Denver’s Traffic Division says a ticket that does not show reduced points and a fine requires an appearance at the City and County Building, Room 135. The clerk should be contacted for current information about how to appear.
Do not infer that a different case is payable because another Denver citation was. Eligibility, charge language and later court orders can differ. Preserve both sides of the ticket and any mailed or electronic notice.
Verify the Traffic clerk →Participant versus observer
Denver’s Virtual Court page separates links “for court participants only” from public observer livestreams. A public stream is for viewing when the courtroom activates it; it does not authorize a person to join, speak or satisfy an appearance.
Use only the participant information assigned to the current courtroom. The page also warns against recording or reproducing proceedings. A witness or party must follow any additional order issued in the individual case.
Compare participant and observer links →Room reassignment
The Virtual Court page identifies Rooms 135 and 160 as clerk offices and says cases with those courtroom designations may be reassigned to an official courtroom within 48 hours of the court date.
Search the Public Portal by case number and review the case-schedule tab near the appearance. A later order or notice controls over older public information. If the assignment remains unclear, contact the clerk for the division shown on the papers.
Open the official Public Portal guide →Independent timelines
A DUI-related event may produce a criminal-division case and a separate administrative license matter. The Denver portal tracks the court case; the Colorado DMV administers hearing requests, restraints and reinstatement.
Keep the summons, current case schedule and every later order. Confirm whether the case uses the Traffic Division or Criminal Division and whether the current appearance is in person or virtual.
The DMV process can continue even if the court case changes. The applicable response period depends on what triggered the action and the notice issued. Verify it without waiting for a Denver arraignment.

Common questions
Court information can change. Follow the individual paperwork and verify current details with the official court.
