Can I Airbnb in Breckenridge, CO? (2026)

Short-term rentals (any rental under 30 consecutive days) are legal in Breckenridge but require a town Accommodation Unit License plus a Business and Occupational License (BOLT), with an annual regulatory fee of $756 per studio/bedroom that the Colorado Court of Appeals upheld in March 2026. The biggest restriction is the town's hard license caps across four zones — new licenses are currently unavailable in the Downtown Core (Zone 2) and Residential (Zone 3) zones, licenses are non-transferable and die when a property sells, and there is no owner-occupancy requirement. Always confirm current requirements with the city before operating.

What’s required: a Accommodation Unit License (with prerequisite Business and Occupational License, 'BOLT') ($756) is required; occupancy taxes apply; renew annual.
