City and County of Denver

The City and County of Denver is a unified local government that manages both urban and surrounding rural areas within its jurisdiction in Colorado. This means Denver operates as a single government entity overseeing city services, public safety, transportation, and development across both the urban core and nearby regions. It combines city and county functions to streamline governance, reduce redundancy, and improve service delivery. This structure allows for coordinated planning and administration, ensuring residents receive consistent services regardless of whether they live in the city proper or the broader county area.
