Emergency Plowing Guidelines

In emergency situations, plowing may be provided to access homes or citizens. If a citizen has an emergency, they should call 911 for assistance. Emergency plowing will only be provided once an emergency has been verified and at the discretion of the jurisdictional authority (Fire, EMS or Law Enforcement). 
 
If resources are requested to respond to a residence and the road was plowed to get there, the citizen will be responsible to pay for all costs if it is determined that no emergency exists. If you have questions about routine plowing procedures, please contact Road and Bridge at (719) 836-4282.

Code of the West

The men and women who came to this part of the country during the westward expansion of the United States were bound by an unwritten code of conduct.  The values of integrity and self-reliance guided their decisions, actions, and interactions.  In keeping with that spirit, we offer the Code of the West to help the citizens of Park County who wish to follow in the footsteps of those rugged individualists by living outside city limits.  We at Park County offer these comments in the sincere hope that it can help you enjoy your decision to reside in the country.
