Creede regulates short-term rentals through a mandatory annual licensing program and a 2% local lodging tax. The city enforces strict occupancy limits based on bedroom count and requires a local contact person available 24/7.
To host an Airbnb in Creede, you must first apply for an annual Short-Term Rental License from the City Clerk, which costs $250. You are required to have both state and city sales tax licenses and must collect a 2% city lodging tax in addition to standard sales taxes. Your property must pass a safety inspection, and you must provide a parking plan that keeps guests off the street. You don't have to live in the house to rent it out, but you must designate a local contact who can respond to issues within an hour.
