Cities Friendly to STR in Denver Metro?

[Riley Wenger]

Hello! I am a real estate agent working with a client to purchase a property to be used as a short term rental. Many of us know that it is tough to do a STR in Denver, but there are some cities in Denver Metro that are open to it. I am curious if anyone has a comprehensive list of cities that are friendly to/allow Short Term Rentals and any specific rules said city imposes (for example, Littleton allows STRs but has very specific rules related to property acreage, etc). If anyone has any city specific info that they are willing to share- I would love to make and share a list of STR regulations by city if someone out there hasn't already created one!!

Here are cities I am currently aware of that allow STRs:

Westminster (no regulations)

Arvada

Littleton (with specific property guidelines)

Wheat Ridge (although rules seem unclear) 

Cities I am currently aware of that do not easily allow STRs:

Denver (allowed, but must be owner occupied)

Edgewater (very specific owner occupancy rules)

Lakewood

Morrison

Cheers!
