The court's authority to modify restitution is limited. Victims requesting an increase in restitution must contact the prosecuting DA’s office to ask for assistance. Restitution may only be decreased with consent of the prosecuting attorney and the victim(s) or if the offender has otherwise compensated the victim(s) per Section 18-1.3-603, C.R.S.

All sentences with restitution orders entered on or after September 1, 2000 are subject to simple interest at the rate of 8% per year. Interest is assessed monthly and calculated on the outstanding restitution principal amount, with limited exceptions noted in Section 18-1.3-603, C.R.S. Interest continues to accrue as long as there is an outstanding restitution principal balance.
