Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Mountain View, CO

Mountain View is a home rule town in Jefferson County, Colorado, located directly west of and adjacent to the City and County of Denver.

Mountain View is one of Colorado's smallest municipalities, covering just 12 square blocks, about 0.09 square miles.

The town site was settled in 1879 as part of John Brisben Walker's Berkeley Farm, platted in 1888 as the Berkeley Annex subdivision, and incorporated on October 11, 1904.

The 2020 census counted 541 residents in Mountain View.

The town is bordered by Lakeside to the north, Wheat Ridge to the west and south, and Denver to the east.

Mountain View has no post office of its own; it is served by the Denver post office under ZIP Code 80212.

In 2009 the cash-strapped town, facing late paychecks for its workers and the closure of about 40 percent of its businesses, asked residents to choose among recruiting businesses, disincorporating into Jefferson County, or being annexed by a neighbor, while the state helped straighten out its financial records.

Mountain View long relied heavily on traffic-ticket revenue, and in 2013 its small police department issued more citations than the departments of Denver, Aurora, and Boulder combined, drawing statewide scrutiny over tickets for violations such as obstructed views.

By 2024, roughly half of Mountain View's sales tax income came from the three marijuana dispensaries within its 12 blocks.

Since 2022 the town has expanded community events such as National Night Out, an annual town picnic, a Spring Fling, outdoor movie nights, and a Santa visit and toy drive.
