Short-term rentals (STRs), locally referred to as vacation rentals, are regulated in Crested Butte, Colorado, with specific licensing requirements established by the Town of Crested Butte. The town offers two types of vacation rental licenses: a Primary Occupancy License, which allows the property owner to rent for a maximum of 90 nights per year, and an Unlimited License, allowing unlimited rentals but capped at two per block face and requiring a minimum rental period of 29 nights. The market for STRs thrives primarily in residential and tourist-friendly areas, favoring properties like cabins, condos, and single-family homes that attract tourists year-round, particularly during peak vacation seasons and events. The overall business environment is strongly oriented towards tourism rather than business travel, driven by outdoor recreational activities and the picturesque setting of the area. The government authority responsible for overseeing these regulations is the Town of Crested Butte, with additional licensing requirements also found for properties in Mt. Crested Butte.
