Short-term rentals, locally referred to as STRs, are legal in Phillips County, Colorado, but they must comply with specific regulations overseen by the Phillips County Planning & Zoning Department. While non-owner-occupied rentals are prohibited, owner-occupied short-term rentals may operate, provided they are licensed and adhere to the county's land use regulations. Properties that flourish in this market include cabins and vacation homes in rural settings, attracting tourists seeking outdoor experiences, as well as some urban apartments targeting business travelers. The overall rental market tends to cater more to tourists, particularly during peak seasons and local events, but also accommodates business visitors year-round. For regulation details, potential STR operators must refer to the county’s land use code and obtain the required permits for compliance. The Phillips County Board of County Commissioners is the governing authority for these regulations.
