Metropolitan districts are a form of Colorado special district established to provide public services and infrastructure within defined communities. Because these districts operate as local governments, their boards and administrators must comply with laws governing public meetings, elections, contracts, finance, records, taxation and other public-sector responsibilities.
Our attorneys help established metropolitan districts navigate these requirements while providing practical legal guidance for day-to-day operations and long-term district needs.
We represent established metropolitan districts that provide services to their constituents, such as parks and recreation, roads, storm drainage, and water and sanitation services. These districts are of particular interest to residents because of how the services they provide impact residents’ daily lives, as well as their homes. Our broad experience working with all forms of service districts gives us an advantage in understanding the complexities faced by these unique local governments.
Our attorneys bring in-depth understanding of local government and special district law, offering:
Whether you need ongoing counsel or representation on a specific issue, we deliver trusted legal expertise.

As special district governments, metropolitan districts are subject to legal requirements involving board governance, public meetings, public records, elections and other aspects of public administration.
