How far back can a pre employment background check go in Colorado

Hard to say, but that information is often revealed on the job application or when you sign the release for the potential employer to do such a background inquiry.
If it isn't, your state is one of a few states that has specific guidelines.
If it isn't, you can always inquire.
If you're worried about something you did in 2005 being discovered 10 years later, consider not applying to that employer.

I think this is what you wanted to know:


How far does an employment background check go back?
Typically, employers requesting an employment background screening on an applicant will request a 7 year history, although some states allow reporting information of up to 10 years. If in the state of California, a potential applicant would be offered a salary of at least $125,000.00, the CRA can go back as far as 10 years. If this is not the case, the maximum allowed reportable period the state of California is 7 years.

Aside from California, there are 11 additional states that limit the reporting of a conviction to seven years from the date of disposition, end of parole or release from prison. The states listed and income exceptions are as follows:
Colorado-$75,000.00 (income exception), Kansas, Maryland, Massachusetts, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, New York-$25,000.00 (income exception), Texas-$75,000.00 (income exception), Washington-$20,000.00 (income exception).
