Statutory Penalties Fines in Colorado

Colorado law sets the statutory penalty fines for most criminal offenses in C.R.S. § 18-1.3-401. That statute establishes the maximum fine amounts a court may impose for different classes of felonies, misdemeanors, and petty offenses, as well as the minimum fine for certain drug offenses. The law also provides factors the court must consider when setting the fine within the statutory range. The exact dollar figures and classification tiers are listed in the statute itself. For a precise calculation of potential fines based on a specific offense class, the DocketMath calculator applies the statutory ranges from C.R.S. § 18-1.3-401 to your case details.
