Larimer County, CO Short term rental

[Bradley Nuse]

I recently purchased a property near Estes Park, CO.  I came across that Larimer County, CO wants folks to register, be inspected, and pass a few different things and items before being "allowed" to rent their property on vacation rental websites (VRBO, AirBNB, etc).  None of it seems over the top, but more a nuisance and slow down to be able to list the property and start generating revenue.  

Has anyone had any experience going through this process?  What are the cumbersome steps in the process and what should I be prepared for?  Any insight and wisdom would be appreciated.  What setbacks, if any, were encountered and how did you mitigate them?  

Thanks all!

@Bradley Nuse - I'm also curious how the process went for you.

@Jim Piety - if you need help with the process, I'm a local real estate agent with a team that has helped several people through the local estes park and county vacation rental process. The biggest problem people face is when the property has improvements that were not permitted with the county. There are lots of other little things that can cause hiccups that can be hard to predict, but it is not impossible! Let me know how we can help.
