What constitutes a short-term rental in Dillon?
Any Dillon Property Rental Less Than 30 Consecutive Days Since Dillon is an incorporated town with its own code and regulations, we must turn to Ordinance 09-18, which sets forth the Dillon Short-Term Rental Rules. Section 6-11-20 defines the term " Short-term rental unit" as “an accommodation… rented or leased for less than thirty (30) consecutive days when the property on which the accommodation is located is assessed, for property tax purposes, as residential property." Accordingly, the Dillon short-term rental rules seek to address the common scenario, where a Dillon property owner seeks to use popular platforms like AirBnb, VRBO and others to rent their home to tourists visiting for periods of less than 30 days. If you conduct any (even just one) rental of your Dillon property for a period of time less than 30 consecutive days, the prevailing rules in Dillon require you to obtain a short-term rental license from the Town, and you must follow all Dillon short-term rental rules that are applicable to your Dillon property. If you're a Dillon property owner who only plans to conduct property rentals for periods of time that are thirty consecutive days long or greater, Dillon’s short-term rental rules have no application whatsoever. In that case, there is no need for you to apply for or obtain a Dillon short-term rental license for your Dillon property. Rentals longer than 30 consecutive days in length are generally considered long-term rentals. Long-term rentals are encouraged, because they help provide housing to local employees. In fact, areas like Summit County and the Town of Breckenridge actually provide incentives for long-term leases to locals. With that in mind, no new regulations or restrictions are currently contemplated for rentals over 30 days in Dillon.
