Short Term Rental Update

Breckenridge Short Term Rentals

Here are the different scenarios for properties who are interested in filing for a short term rental license based on closing dates:

Property goes under contract after 9/28 and closes before 11/2/2021 – the deed has to be dated no later than 11/1/2021, the new owner can apply for a license after they sign the deed but prior to 11:59 pm on 11/1/2021 here.

Property goes under contract on 9/28 or before, the closing is before 11/2/2021, and the seller does not have a current license – the deed has to be dated no later than 11/1/2021, the new owner can apply for a license after they sign the deed but prior to 11:59 pm on 11/1/2021 here.

Property goes under contract on 9/28 or before, and the seller has a current license – the buyer has six months from the date of going under contract to close on the property, and they can apply for a license within 20 days of closing.

Property goes under contract on 9/28 or before, and is closing 11/2 or after and the seller does not have a license.

• Property without a valid STR license goes under contract on or before September 28
• The seller applies for a license prior to 11:59 pm on 11/1/2021. The application is completed and the fees are paid prior to closing.
• Property closes and title is transferred sometime after 11/2.
• At the time of title transfer, the seller has a valid STR license so the exemption we discussed applies and the new owner can apply for and receive a STR license regardless of the cap. (as described in option 3 above)

Property goes under contract after 9/28 and doesn’t close until 11/2 or after – the new owner can apply for a license and will be put on a waiting list until the current number of licenses goes below 2200.  The town will offer a temporary 6-month license to accommodate existing reservations. No license or other options will be available.
