[El Paso County, Colo. – August 13, 2024] The Office of the Clerk and Recorder reopened the Dealer’s Desk Monday, August 12, after it was closed for four years following the COVID-19 pandemic. The Dealer’s Desk is a specific DMV office which allows the more than 140 car dealerships in El Paso County to file vehicle title and registration paperwork.
This facility will significantly contribute to the local economy, as dealerships provide important tax revenue to the county. This new office supports the work dealers do by creating a more efficient process while also freeing up services and space for our everyday customers at our DMV offices.
“We are thrilled to open this state-of-the-art DMV office, designed to streamline processes and enhance the efficiency of dealer transactions,” said El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Steve Schleiker. “With dedicated staff and tailored services, we aim to make your experience smoother and more convenient.”
In 2020, amid the global pandemic, the Clerk and Recorder’s Office closed the Dealer’s Desk for safety precautions. For the last four years, dealers had to go to our DMV office and wait for a specific clerk to help them. Typically, dealer transactions can take multiple hours.
The reopening of the Dealer’s Desk is a testament to the Clerk’s partnership with the dealer community. It gives dealers an exclusive office, staffed with multiple specialized clerks, to file complicated transactions and paperwork more quickly.
“Dealers in Colorado Springs promote a lot of money towards El Paso County and we would like to be able to increase that,” said Anne Patterson of BML Dealer Supplies and Title Service. “This Dealer’s Desk helps our customers and (county) customers process their paperwork in a more efficient way.”
