Reporting a suspected lab or illegal disposal
- To report a known or suspected meth lab, contact your local law enforcement agency or drug task force.
- To report suspected disposal down the sanitary sewer, contact your local wastewater treatment authority. Your local public works department or other city offices can help you determine how to do this.
- Contact your local health department, building department or law enforcement agency to find out if the cleanup will be handled locally.
Methamphetamine-affected residential real property, discovered after August 7, 2023, must be included on a public list in accordance with state statute (section 25-18.5-106, C.R.S.). The list will include residential real property deemed methamphetamine-affected through reporting by law enforcement or a consultant certified under section 25-18.5-106, C.R.S.
Properties must remain on the list for five years after the final certificate of compliance is issued, unless the property is demolished.
Properties subject to this requirement include:
- Manufactured homes.
- Mobile homes.
- Condominiums.
- Townhomes.
- Homes sold by the owner, a financial institution, or the federal department of housing and urban development.
- Rental property, including apartments.
- Short-term residence such as a motel or hotel.
Properties will automatically drop from the list after the five-year post-certification listing criteria are met. It may take up to 24 hours after criteria are met for a property to be automatically removed from the list.
