Vacation Rental Ad Hoc Advisory Committee

Downtown Steamboat Springs

With the proliferation of vacation ownership and nightly rentals, City Council is interested in understanding the topic more in depth and how this matter is or is not impacting the community as it pertains to long-term rental housing, neighborhood character, sales & lodging tax collection, safety and enforcement.  

PURPOSE

To review issues and impacts of non-hotel lodging uses (VHR, vacation rental, B&B) and provide recommendations for City Council discussion/consideration.
