Any Breckenridge Property Rental Less Than 30 Consecutive Days Since Breckenridge is an incorporated town with its own code and regulations, we must turn to the Breckenridge Short-Term Rental Ordinance, which was passed in 2018 and became effective on January 1, 2019. Section 1 uses the term "accommodation unit" and defines it to be “a separate and distinct living unit including condominium, townhome, house, trailer, studio unit, condominium unit, or any such other similar unit which is rented to any person, who, for consideration, uses, possesses or has the right to use or possess such accommodation unit for a period of less than 30 consecutive days, regardless of the number of days during a license year such unit is rented." Accordingly, the Breckenridge short-term rental rules seek to address the common scenario, where a Breckenridge 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 Breckenridge property for a period of time less than 30 consecutive days, the Town requires you to obtain a Breckenridge short-term rental license, and you must follow all Breckenridge short-term rental rules that are applicable to your Breckenridge property. If you're a Breckenridge property owner who only plans to conduct property rentals for periods of time that are thirty consecutive days long or greater, Breckenridge’s short-term rental rules have no application whatsoever. In that case, there is no need for you to apply for or obtain a Breckenridge short-term rental license for your Breckenridge 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 Breckenridge.
