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: August 2023 $178/night; September 2023 $121/night, October 2023-May 2024 $127/night, June-Aug. 2024 $178/night, Sept. 2024 $127/night
Denver: August-September 2023 $199/night; October 2023 $201/night, November - December 2023 $153/night, January - March 2024 $169/night, April - September 2024 $201/night
Durango: August-September 2023 $179/night, October 2023 - May 2024 $119/night, June - September 2024 $179/night
Grand Junction: August-September 2023 $98/night, October 2023 - September 2024 $107/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.
