The minimum SR-22 car insurance requirements in Colorado are $25,000 in bodily injury liability insurance per person ($50,000 per accident) plus $15,000 in property damage liability insurance. Drivers in Colorado will need to maintain the SR-22 coverage for 3 years. For context, an SR-22 is a form that the driver’s insurance company will file with the state to prove that the driver has enough coverage to drive legally.
Minimum SR-22 Insurance Requirements in Colorado
- Bodily injury liability coverage: $25,000 per person / $50,000 accident
- Property damage liability coverage: $15,000
Even though you can meet Colorado’s SR-22 requirements with the minimum insurance required by law, you might want to opt for higher coverage limits. The more insurance you buy, the more protection you have for your finances and property.

Just keep in mind that insurance is more expensive for drivers with an SR-22, since they are classified as high-risk.
