Many municipalities in Colorado regulate vacation rentals. Property owners should be aware of the variation of these regulations depending on the municipalities.
In many municipalities, the property owner has to obtain business licenses or other special licenses to operate short-term vacation rentals. Once you have your inscription number (Rental License number), it must be included in all advertising you do for the property. Failure to include your inscription in your advertising could lead to fines for both owner and advertising channel.
Who should apply?
It is mandatory for all property managers to check the local regulations for vacation rentals, especially whether they are allowed to rent out accommodations or not and if a license is needed.

The registration and application for the vacation rental licenses can be found on the webpage of each municipality.
