Restaurant Inspection Reports
Aurora spans three counties — and three separate health departments. Here is which portal has your restaurant’s inspection record.
Why three portals?
Tri-County Health dissolved at the end of 2022 — Aurora’s inspection duties split to Adams, Arapahoe and Douglas county health departments. First find the restaurant’s county with our lookup tool, then open that county’s portal.

What do the results mean?+
Colorado uses three results: Pass (meets standards), Re-Inspection Required (violations exceed standards), and Closed (significant unsanitary conditions). Priority violations matter most — they tie directly to foodborne-illness risk.
Why no letter grades?+
State law bans Colorado agencies from summarizing inspections as letters or scores — every result is the full report, not a grade. Sites showing A–F grades are unofficial.
How fresh is the data?+
Counties post reports roughly a week after inspection. One snapshot is not a track record — check the inspection history on the portal, not just the latest visit.
What about food trucks / markets?+
Licensed food establishments — restaurants, food trucks, markets and childcare kitchens — are all in the same county portals. Temporary event vendors are inspected too but may file under the event.
