They aren't allowed in the city or the county. I'm not sure how it's enforced.

Here's an article about it:

The Denver Post

Across metro Denver, pit bull bans have been on the books for years. Now, one community might change that.

Castle Rock this week will wade into an issue that has vexed metro Denver for decades -- should the town lift its ban on pit bulls, a prohibition it has had in place for more than a quarter-century? The town has scheduled an open house for 6 p.m. Wednesday where residents can learn details about Castle Rock's breed-specific ban and what might replace it, along with other animal-related topics such as the potential to allow backyard chickens and bees.

Judge Judy wouldn't have a TV show if you ban them.

What would a ban look like, though? Destroy an entire breed of dog?

They are banned in Denver.

Those findings don't account for the amount of pitbulls in America.
