Jurors who reside 50 or more miles from the courthouse are eligible to receive a lodging reimbursement if they choose to stay overnight in a hotel. Effective January 1, 2022, eligible jurors who stay overnight in a hotel will be reimbursed actual lodging costs not to exceed the GSA established maximum, excluding taxes. A hotel receipt is required for reimbursement. Mileage is calculated as the shortest practical route from the juror's home to the courthouse.
Hotel reimbursement rates, per night, are as follows:
Colorado Springs: October 2024 - May 2025 $123/night; June - August 2025 $168/night; September 2025 $123/night
Denver: October 2024 $215/night, November 2024 - March 2025 $165/night, April - September 2025 $215/night
Durango: October 2024 - May 2025 $121/night, June - September 2025 $184/night
Grand Junction: October 2024 - September 2025 $110/night
Jurors are responsible for making their own hotel accommodations. If a juror elects lodging that is in excess of the per diem, the juror will be responsible for the overage. Many hotels offer a government rate for jurors who show their jury summons as proof. Facilities with mandatory resort/amenity fees and the like should be avoided. The use of online booking sites and accommodations such as Airbnb and VRBO are strongly discouraged due to rigid cancellation policies. If used, jurors do so at their own risk of not being fully reimbursed should a trial or grand jury session end early. All jurors are expected to checkout the morning of their last day of service. Should you have questions, contact the Jury Division by email at jury_clerk@cod.uscourts.gov or call toll free (844) 641-6610.
