El Paso, Park, & Teller County SHORT-TERM RENTAL REGULATIONS
Short-term rental (STR) regulations in the Pikes Peak region are established and enforced by local governments. The Pikes Peak Chapter of COSTRA includes hosts and operators in El Paso, Teller, and Park Counties, and requirements may vary depending on the county, city, or town where the property is located.
STR operators may be required by their local jurisdiction to obtain a permit, registration, or license before operating a short-term rental. Local ordinances may also establish requirements related to zoning, occupancy limits, parking, safety standards, and lodging tax collection.
Short-term rentals must operate in a manner that does not adversely affect the public health, safety, or welfare of the surrounding neighborhood. Depending on the jurisdiction, properties may be required to maintain safety features such as smoke alarms, carbon monoxide detectors, fire extinguishers, and appropriate liability insurance, and must comply with all applicable building, fire, and zoning regulations.
Because STR policies are determined locally and may change over time, operators are responsible for reviewing the rules that apply to their specific property location.
