Short-term rentals (STRs) in Westminster, Colorado, are generally classified as rentals of residential properties for less than 30 days. As of now, STRs are legal but regulated under the city’s new ordinance aimed at balancing the need for such accommodations with the interests of local residents and communities. The regulations require operators to obtain a short-term rental license from the city, which is valid for two years without an initial fee, though a renewal fee of $200 applies. The market is distinctly oriented toward both tourists and business travelers, with successful properties predominantly including single-family homes and townhouses in well-located neighborhoods, appealing for their proximity to various amenities and attractions. Regulations also mandate compliance with health and safety standards to ensure quality living conditions for guests. The City Clerk’s office oversees the licensing process, while the Westminster Finance Department handles tax incentives applicable to STR businesses.
