As your county clerk, Lori Mitchell runs free, fair, accurate, secure, and transparent elections. Lori is a certified Colorado Election Official and an Election Center CERA graduate. The Clerk and Recorder's Office has taken many strides to enhance voter tools, communication, and access, to the ballot box.

Motor Vehicle Efficiency

Chaffee County citizens are noticing dramatic improvements in Motor Vehicle Services. We added 5 "open for business hours" per week to our Buena Vista Office. Our Salida Office was remodeled creating a larger waiting area and it is now ADA accessible. We are constantly creating a faster, more customer centric, and less stressful DMV visit.

Preserving our history

Chaffee County is the only County in the State to have all County land records, and a multitude of other documents, digitized, indexed, and available to the public online. Lori began this project in 2016 and received grants to complete the project. Lori is a sixth generation Chaffee County resident and she values every families history of Chaffee County.

Lori implemented a new recording system and online web hosting system which created a backup of all records and is more user friendly for the public, businesses, and other County departments. All recorded records can be searched for free at iCounty.org.

CLerk to the Board of County Commissioners

As County Clerk, Lori serves as the Clerk to the Board of County Commissioners and within the last couple of years has deployed an online Minutes and Agenda Management system so the public can access all Board packets, agendas, and minutes and watch the meeting live or view it later.
