Welcome To Colorado!

Moving to Colorado: To Do Checklistco

  • Contact the Chamber of Commerce of your new town to ask about resources for newcomers.
  • Register to vote in your new district.
  • Take an afternoon to explore the public library: ask reference librarians about where to find maps of town, nearby nature trails, bike trails and more.
  • Unaccustomed to the Colorado seasons? Consult with the local mechanic about when to use snow tires, winter wipers, etc.
  • Purchase lots of hand lotion, lip moisturizer and sun screen.
  • We know the climate and though it’s gloriously sunny here much of the time, it is very dry and those high altitude ultra violet rays can take a toll on your skin.
  • Some cities in Northern Colorado require your pet to have a license – ask the city you’ll be a resident of.
  • You might want to investigate ‘swamp coolers’ or ‘evaporative coolers’ – they’re inexpensive, eco-friendly alternatives to central air conditioning and perfect for our dry climate.
  • Last but certainly not least, take a look around and enjoy the beautiful scenery!
