These guys have been amazing! I have been there a few times and it is by far the best office I have visited. The folks are super friendly, care about your needs, and ready to help with anything they could. Doesn’t get any better.

It's vintage. It's historic. It's brick. It's Telluride stuff gets done inside

Due to Covid-19 this office is closed. We have attempted to call multiple times for a marriage license. Either they don't answer, don't respond to voicemails left, or they do answer and fail to give us proper details to retrieve a marriage license. This has been quite sometime we have been attempting to complete this process. The final call we made we finally received a checklist for a marriage license and Covid-19 restrictions are in place. Due to this lack of communication we are on our last day of our trip to get married in Telluride and it's not happening. So now we have stayed and spent all this money in a town that has let us down. We will not be back again, terrible experience lack of structure in this County Clerk's office. We have been to Telluride several times and sadly this is the final visit.

The staff is the most friendly dmv I’ve interacted with, however the hours have gotten ridiculous. Being closed 4 days a week is excessive and then closing 5 and a half hours early on one of the only days you ARE open is unacceptable. Surely someone is a salary position and is taking advantage because this availability isn’t what we pay taxes for
