Vacation Home Rental License Renewal Due Jan. 31
This is a friendly yet urgent reminder about the Vacation Home Rental License Renewal process, which has a firm deadline on Friday for all properties within the Town of Estes Park.
Key Details to Note:
- The entire renewal application must be submitted, including all required signatures and the total license fee (which includes the linkage fee).
- Postmark dates do not suffice. The full payment must be received by the Town Clerk’s Office no later than Friday, Jan. 31.
Please take the time to ensure your application is completed and submitted promptly to avoid the loss of your vacation rental license.
Why This Matters:
Completing the renewal process on time ensures compliance with local regulations and allows you to continue offering the exceptional short-term rental experiences our guests have come to love in the Estes Valley.

Colorado 2025 Legislative Session – Stay Informed and Protected with EVSTRA
The Colorado General Assembly convened its first regular session on Jan. 8, 2025. The House and Senate will generally meet at 10 a.m. on Mondays and 9 a.m. Tuesday through Friday. As of Monday, January 27, a total of 118 bills have been introduced in the House, and 86 bills have been introduced in the Senate. However, it does not appear that any of these bills has a noticeable effect on short-term rentals. Nevertheless, we are aware of several rumored proposals that could affect short-term rentals, but are not aware of any corresponding bills having been introduced. The Estes Valley Short-Term Rental Alliance remains committed to closely monitoring legislative activity in partnership with state and local organizations. We will provide timely updates on any legislative initiatives that could impact short-term rental operations.
If you’re not yet a member, now is the time to join and support our efforts to preserve the future of local and statewide short-term rentals. Your membership enables us to further our advocacy initiatives and continue this important work.
