Short-Term Rental Regulations
in Moffat County, CO

Airbnb listings are allowed in Moffat County, CO, but with restrictions. Moffat County regulates lodging-related uses (e.g., Bed & Breakfast Inns, boarding houses, RV parks) by zoning district; these may be permitted, accessory, or conditional uses depending on the zone. Conditional uses require review by the Planning Commission and approval by the Board of County Commissioners, potentially including time limitations and periodic reviews. These rules apply to all short-term rental platforms (Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, etc.) — not just Airbnb specifically. See the official source linked on this page for full requirements.
