Short-term rentals (STRs), commonly referred to as vacation rentals, are legal in Eagle County, Colorado, but they are subject to evolving regulations managed by local authorities. The Eagle County Board of Commissioners is considering a licensing ordinance specifically for unincorporated areas to establish a framework for fee collection and management of these rentals. STRs typically thrive in diverse accommodations, including mountain cabins and townhomes, which attract both tourists and some business travelers, especially in popular tourism areas like Vail and Beaver Creek. The area primarily caters to tourists, especially during the ski season and summer months when outdoor activities draw visitors. In the Town of Eagle, operators must register for a short-term rental permit and remit a 6% lodging tax on their net rental sales, with 50% of the tax funding local recreational initiatives and marketing efforts to attract visitors.
