Vacation rental management in Boulder Colorado is more complex with more specific restrictions than in other parts of Colorado. If you choose to rent out your furnished home, condo, or apartment in Boulder for vacation rental or corporate housing there are a few things you need to know.

  • The short-term rental ordinance allows Boulder homeowners to apply for a license to rent their property for less than 30 days at a time. 
  • Homeowners may only rent out their primary residence  for less than 30 days at a time.  The property must be the homeowners primary residence and not be held as a rental or investment property . This means that Investors who wish to rent out properties that are NOT their primary residence may only do so for longer term lease terms of  30-days or longer.   
  • Homeowners that wish to rent their properties out as a vacation rental in Boulder for less than 30-days must first obtain an rental license, which involves passing an inspection by a qualified inspector, completing a rental license application, and paying a licensing fee.  
  • Follow this link to go to the City of Boulder website to read the ordinance and get the full list of steps to apply for a short term rental license.
