Sex Offender Registry

Sex Offender Registry

The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office is responsible for registering all sex offenders housed at the Boulder County Jail as required and those registrants who live in unincorporated Boulder County, to include Lyons, Nederland, and Superior.

The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office does not post a list of our registered sex offenders. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation (CBI) posts adult sex offenders with felony convictions under the sex offender registry information. You may obtain a list of BCSO’s registrants from the CBI at the Colorado Sex Offender Registry.

This information may not be used to inflict retribution or additional punishment on any person.

Colorado law does not place any restrictions on where or with whom a registered sex offender may live. Boulder County itself does not have any restrictions. If a registrant is on probation or parole supervision, there may be restrictions in place regarding where and with whom he or she may live.

Registrants should check if a sex offender registrant may live in housing that is rented or leased or determine if there are any HOA rules or regulations pertaining to this.

A sex offender may live near a school, bus stop, park, or daycare facility unless there is a court record listing any restrictions specific to the offender in question. If a registrant is on probation or parole supervision, there may be terms and conditions specifically preventing residing near or within a specified distance any of these places.

The Boulder County Sheriff’s Office registers all sex offenders who call unincorporated Boulder County home. Transient or homeless registrants who do not have a permanent address and move frequently from place to place or are living in shelters or on the street can and do register.

They are further required to self-verify their location until a permanent address is obtained.

In the State of Colorado, adult sex offenders are required to register for their lifetime or until a court order is granted, stating the offender is no longer required to register in Colorado. The registration timeframe depends upon the conviction and there is no set time.
