COMMISSIONERS APPROVE VACATION RENTALS

On October 30^th the Boulder County Commissioners unanimously approved amendments to the County’s Land Use Code today to authorize short-term residential rentals. The Commissioners approved a plan that addresses short-term dwelling rentals, often referred to as “vacation rentals,” with requirements that vary according to the intensity of the rental property and its zoning district. The measures only apply to dwellings that are rented for short durations (less than 30 days each) and do not apply to long-term rentals or those being rented on a month-to-month basis. A property owner is allowed to rent out a property on a short-term basis by right and without any special restrictions for up to a total of 14 nights per year. After that, restrictions may apply depending upon the zoning of the property. Homes rented for 46 or more nights per year, will require staff review, neighbor notification and Limited Impact Special Review.
