Breckenridge Short-Term Rental Rules
The Town of Breckenridge, Colorado adopted a zoned approach to short-term rental licensing. The zones are as follows:
Resort Zone - Allows for 100% of properties to obtain STR license. There currently are short-term rental licenses available in the Breckenridge Resort Zone.
Zone 1: Tourism Zone (Zone 1) - Allows 92% of properties to obtain STR license. There is no waitlist for Zone 1. As of November 30, 2024, there are 464 available licenses.
Zone 2: The downtown core (Zone 2) - Allows 51% of properties to obtain STR license. There currently is a waitlist for licenses in Breckenridge Zone 2. Click here for official waitlist info.
Zone 3: Single family residential areas (Zone 3) - Allows 10% of properties to obtain STR license. There currently is a waitlist for licenses in Breckenridge Zone 3. Click here for official waitlist info.
**Licenses are only relinquished through property sales, since they are non-transferable, or owner non-renewal. As properties are sold or as property owners decide not to renew short-term rental licenses, the total number of licenses are anticipated to decrease within Zones 2 and 3, with the goal of eventually meeting the targeted cap numbers. Each zone is handled separately in terms of license caps and availability of future licenses and there is a separate waitlist for each zone.
