Breckenridge has some of the most complex short term rental regulations in the county. As of July 12, 2022 there is a new resort overlay for Breckenridge regarding zones.. Depending on location, there is a percentage of licenses allowed. These percentages range from 100% to only 10% in the area. In the areas deemed as neighborhoods, there needs to be significant attrition in order to obtain a new license. In the resort overlay area, licenses will always be available. Please talk to me about where the home you are interested in to see what the opportunity for a short term rental license is.

FAIRPLAY:
The Town of Fairplay passed a short-term rental ordinance on March 18th. There is a 30-day period of effectiveness following the publication for the ordinance before it goes into effect. The link to the ordinance is below.
From the Fairplay Town Administrator Janell Sciacca: The short-term rental moratorium is still in effect through the end of April. The Board will be considering another Emergency Ordinance on April 18, 2022 to set the exact date of expiration which will coincide with the effectiveness of the ordinance. I am anticipating that the Town will begin accepting applications around the first part of May and there will only be a total of 20 licenses available. Preference for the initial licenses is being given to the current rental properties that have been operating under a regular business license. There were 14 of those, but we do not know if all of them will apply for the STR license. As an extra point of clarification, the ordinance limits units to 1 per natural person or entity.

Please reach out to the Town of Fairplay if you have any questions about specific properties.
