Office hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Walk-in services are available at the Lafayette office without an appointment.<\/p>\n<p>According to Emily Chen, director of Clerk &#038; Recorder, this program served 53% more residents in 2026 compared to the previous year. &#8220;We&#8217;re seeing unprecedented demand from communities across Boulder County, particularly in Lafayette and the surrounding area,&#8221; Emily Chen said.<\/p>\n<h3>Related Programs<\/h3>\n<p>Boulder County has partnered with the cities of Boulder, Longmont, Lafayette, and Louisville on this project. Combined investment across all jurisdictions totals $108,000, making it one of the largest collaborative efforts in the county&#8217;s history.<\/p>\n<p>Transportation access remains a key concern.
