Months Into New Regulations in Summit County, STR Owners Consider Selling Properties

4/3/2024

Second-home owners fear losing their foothold in the mountain community of Summit County, Colorado, due to recently enacted short-term rental (STR) rules. In February of last year, the Summit Board of County Commissioners approved a package of regulations in response to what they’ve called a growing workforce housing crisis for residents. The rules, which went into effect this past fall in unincorporated Summit County, place varying caps on the number of licenses needed to operate a short-term rental and limit the number of bookings a property can have within a year. Commissioner Tamara Pogue said the board “promised the public that they would review the county’s current regulations after they had enough data to share, so the board could evaluate their success,” adding that county staff is currently gathering that data.
