1. Purpose/Background
CP&P initially adopted regulations for short-term and vacation rentals in 2008. Since 2008 short-term and vacation rentals have proliferated in ways that both benefit and burden unincorporated Boulder County. CP&P aims to balance those benefits and burdens, maintain housing stock and housing affordability, better address land use impacts of short-term rentals, and provide more enforcement of short-term and vacation rental regulations and requirements. In March 2020, the Colorado State Legislature passed bill HB-20-1093 authorizing counties to license short-term rentals. As a result, in 2020 the Boulder County Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) adopted a two-pronged approach to regulate short- term rentals: first, text amendments to the Boulder County Land Use Code and second, a Licensing Ordinance. These items will work together to regulate rentals in unincorporated Boulder County and balance the competing values of housing stock and affordability, a tourism economy, and the health, safety, and welfare of Boulder County residents. Boulder County updated Land Use Code regulations related to Short-Term Dwelling and Vacation Rentals in 2021. The final text amendments were signed by the Board of County Commissioners (BOCC) on January 5, 2021, and became effective February 7, 2021. Licensing for short-term rentals began on March 1, 2021, and compliance and outreach began in March 2022. The Licensing Ordinance, No. 2020-01 attached as Exhibit A, aims to facilitate safe accommodations, address potential negative impacts to neighbors and communities, and provide more effective enforcement mechanisms for short-term rentals. CP&P is issuing this Request for Proposals to help ensure compliance with the Licensing Ordinance and Land Use Code. To learn more about the Boulder County’s short-term and vacation rental regulations please visit https://boco.org/STR. An update of the current regulatory scheme is underway.
