Fri, 05 Jun 2026 22:16:30 GMT https://regulations.comparent.com/regulations/colorado/vail/ Eagle County (governing areas around but outside Vail town limits, including Edwards, Avon, and other communities) is coordinating with the town to develop consistent STR policies that prevent displacement of Vail-restricted operators into surrounding county areas. Tue, 01 Jul 2025 00:00:00 GMT colorado-vail-2025-07-01 https://regulations.comparent.com/regulations/colorado/vail/ The Town of Vail substantially increased STR license fees, with proceeds allocated to the Vail Local Housing Authority's workforce housing programs. The fee escalation reflects the town's policy position that vacation rentals contribute to the housing shortage and should bear a portion of the cost of addressing it. Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 GMT colorado-vail-2024-01-01 https://regulations.comparent.com/regulations/colorado/vail/ Vail's STR ordinance creates a two-tier licensing system. Tier 1 (primary residence) licenses are available without a cap. Tier 2 (investor/non-primary) licenses are capped at a town-wide total, and new Tier 2 licenses are issued via lottery or waitlist when caps are reached. Licenses are non-transferable on property sale. Thu, 01 Jun 2023 00:00:00 GMT colorado-vail-2023-06-01
