Short-term rentals (STRs), often referred to locally as "vacation rentals," are legal in Jefferson County, Colorado, but subject to specific regulations enforced by the Jefferson County Planning & Zoning Division. Property owners must navigate a two-step process to legally operate an STR: obtaining a Special Exception approval and acquiring a Short-Term Rental Permit. STRs in this area primarily thrive in scenic, rural settings such as cabins in the foothills and mountain regions, though there are also opportunities for apartments and homes in suburban locales that cater to both tourists and business travelers. The market mainly attracts tourists drawn by outdoor recreational activities and events in nearby urban areas, particularly during peak seasons and holidays. The regulatory landscape is evolving, with recent updates aimed at streamlining the permitting process amidst discussions for stricter enforcement, indicating a responsive adaptation to community concerns regarding non-compliance and neighborhood impacts.
