Civic Connections: Understanding STRs

The city is launching Civic Connections, a new ongoing community conversation series designed to bring residents, businesses, and industry professionals together for clear, accessible discussions about topics shaping the community.

The first event in the series, Understanding Short-Term Rentals, will take place on Thursday, January 22 at Combined Law Enforcement Facility (2027 Shield Dr). This individual session is co sponsored by Altitude Realtors® and is also part of their popular Pizza and Politics program. To kick things off, attendees will enjoy a free pizza lunch starting at 12:30pm, followed by a fast paced, highly informative presentation beginning promptly at 1pm.

Short Term Rentals Session Focus:
Short term rentals remain one of the most frequently discussed topics in Steamboat Springs. This session is designed to provide a broad, educational overview of how STRs function within the city and will cover:
• STR Code and Overlay Zone
• Licensing Requirements
• Application Types, Processes, and Requirements
• Operational Standards
• Renewal Procedures
• Consequences for Noncompliance
• Open Q&A

This session is geared toward realtors and property managers, though STR license holders and the general public are welcome. This presentation is for informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. This is not an appropriate forum to debate policy, nor will any individual cases, enforcement, or grievances be discussed.
