Requirements vary with municipality. In Denver, for example, you must pay a $50 application fee, and then $25 annually to renew the license. In Colorado Springs, it only costs $15, but there's a $20 background check and $95 license fee. Regardless of where you apply you will, however, be required to submit fingerprints.
