[Browse the store](/toolkits) Who it is for People and small businesses with a money claim in Colorado that may fit under $7,500, and people who have been sued there and want the same organized record. Not the right fit if Your claim is outside Colorado, over its small claims limit, or needs a lawyer (an injury, a dispute over land, a family case). Not a form preparation or legal service. Why it is different - Built only from our Colorado small claims data file, checked November 2026 against Colorado Judicial Legal Help Center: When can I sue in small claims court; Colorado Judicial Legal Help Center: When can an attorney represent the defendant or me in small claims court; Colorado Judicial Branch: Small Claims Cases Filing Fees; Colorado Judicial Branch: Small Claims self-help handout (4.14.25); Colorado Judicial Branch: How to start a small claims or county civil appeal. - 2 details aren't stated on those pages, so the kit leaves them out and lists them once to look up, with the official page. - Official forms are linked, not copied, so you always file the court's current version. What is inside - **Start here and is small claims right?.** How to use the kit, the 7 confirmed Colorado facts at a glance, a short look-up list (who can file, online filing) with the page to check, and a yes/no checklist: is the amount under $7,500, is it the right court, is there someone to serve and something to collect from. - **Colorado filing guide.** Where and how to file, from the official pages: The county where an individual defendant lives, works or is a full-time student, or where a business defendant has an office for transacting business. Security deposit and restrictive covenant claims: the county where the property is. Fees: plaintiff, claim up to $500: $31; plaintiff, claim $500.01 to $7,500: $55; defendant without counterclaim, up to $500: $26; defendant without counterclaim, $500.01 to $7,500: $41; party with counterclaim, both $500 or less: $31; party with counterclaim over $500: $46. From the Colorado Judicial Branch small claims filing fee table. People who can't afford the fee can ask to file without payment. - **Service, the hearing and after in Colorado.** Service: Personal service of the defendant's copy by law enforcement, a private process server or any disinterested person over 18, at least 15 days before the trial date; proof of service is filed with the court. Lawyers are allowed, with limits. Appeal: Start the appeal in the county court where the case was filed by filing a Notice of Appeal (Form 4) and Designation of Record (Form 5) "within 14 calendar days of the magistrate or judge making a decision or entering a judgment," and pay the filing fee and appeal bond; then file copies in the district court in that county within 35 days. The district court decides the appeal on the record the county court prepares. - **Demand letter and response tracker.** A neutral demand letter to fill in (what happened, the amount, a reply-by date, how to pay), a log of every reply and offer, and a short checklist before sending. - **Evidence organizer and hearing prep.** An exhibit list numbered for the judge, a timeline, witness notes, a three-minute opening outline and a hearing-day packing list. - **Colorado small claims workbook (Excel).** A claim calculator that adds up your items and compares the total with $7,500, a costs sheet with the Colorado fee list, a deadline sheet in business days that skips weekends and federal holidays, and a collection tracker with the balance owed.
