Aurora regulates massage businesses under Chapter 26 with city licensing requirements layered on top of Colorado state therapist registration through DORA, including background checks and inspection authority.
Aurora requires massage establishments to obtain a city business license under Chapter 26 of the Aurora City Code. Therapists must hold a Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA) registration. Aurora Tax and Licensing reviews ownership, operating hours, signage, and zoning compliance before issuing a license. Establishments are subject to inspection by Aurora Code Enforcement and Aurora Police Department. Anti-trafficking provisions allow the city to deny or revoke licenses for owners with disqualifying convictions. Annual renewal is required, and locations must comply with Aurora UDO zoning rules in Chapter 146.
Operating a massage establishment without a city license, employing unregistered therapists, or violating posting and inspection rules can result in fines and license revocation.
