Colorado County Codes

Return to Colorado

Starting in 1958, Colorado plates were issued beginning with a two-alpha county code designation. In the mid-1980s, most counties began exhausing their two-alpha combinations and switched to ABC-123 format plates, with the alpha portion again allocated by county. This system was in place through the end of 1999, when county coding was discontinued. A listing of the two- and three-digit county codes follows, sorted by county name:
