Denver

Denver strictly enforces a primary residence requirement for all short-term rentals, meaning you can only rent out your main home. Hosts must obtain an annual business license and collect/remit a 10.75% Lodger's Tax, though major platforms typically handle tax collection.

To host an Airbnb in Denver, you must live in the home you are renting for more than half the year. You cannot rent out second homes or investment properties for short stays. You need to apply for a $150 annual license ($100 renewal) and post your license number on your listing. Most taxes are collected automatically by Airbnb, but you still need to register with the city's tax office.
