The drug dog thing on I-70

unless it has changed in the last couple of weeks, CO just plain bills whether it's $5 or $20 and you're out of state.  usually takes them 60 days or so to bill you, tho

rage got lucky :Woot:

Maybe they don't recognize those K-State plates for some reason?

I've never been billed for driving on Colorado toll roads.

is your address up to date with the state?

I think so. I get my tag renewal form in the mail every year at the right address, anyway.

check your credit report lately, rage?

Just did. Nothing stands out.

Do you live in CO?

No, Kansas. I've just assumed I wasn't getting billed because I'm out of state. I drive E-470 about once per year, but it's a round trip, so should be getting billed twice.

I think they still bill out of state but are notorious for messing up the billing (not sending).  If your credit doesn't show anything and you don't live in CO, I wouldnt worry about it till unless it comes up.  In Colorado they will hold your registration/license renewal if you don't pay.

Also, depending on how far on 470 you go, you could be billed 4 times for a round trip cause there's two seperate billing areas north and south of 70.

I lived in Colorado fourteen years ago for a year. the last week I was there I was driving a company car and got pulled over because the tag was expired. I let my work know and they said they would take care of it. ten years went by and I thought nothing of it until I had to renew my ks license. apparently the ticket was never paid and somewhere around 2009 or so Colorado and ks started sharing info. I couldn't renew my ks license until I paid the Colorado ticket which was around 400% more of a pain the ass than you would have expected. the online system did not work for me/my ticket and I was not allowed to pay over the phone. hilarity ensued from there and that office phone just rang and rang and 90% of the time nobody would pick it up and messages never were returned. almost had to drive to Denver.
