Boulder’s New Ordinance On Short-Term Rentals Are In Effect! Here is what you need to know…

janetleap

Screen Shot 2016-01-05 at 11.00.23 AM

 

Boulder’s new rules on short-term rentals went into effect on Monday, January 4, 2016. Boulder’s short-term rental ordinance means homeowners renting to visitors for less than 30 days at a time need a short-term rental license. That means the hundreds of Boulder units listed on VRBO and Airbnb are in violation of the law. It’s not clear how Boulder will handle these violations.

 

What is a short-term rental? Short-term rentals are properties that are rented for less than 30 days at a time, excluding dwellings owned by the federal government, the state, or any of their agencies or political subdivisions and facilities licensed by the state as health care facilities; also excluding permanently affordable units. Learn more about the definition of a short-term rental and how to apply for a license here – /bouldercolorado.gov/plan-develop/short-term-rentals
