Salida has a highly regulated STR market with strict caps on the number of non-primary licenses available in residential zones. Hosts must pay a $1,000 annual fee and a combined 9% local lodging/STR tax in addition to state sales tax.
To host an Airbnb in Salida, you must first check if your neighborhood's license cap has been reached, as the city limits the number of rentals allowed. You will need to apply for an annual license which costs $1,000 and pass a fire safety inspection. Only one STR license is allowed per person. You are responsible for collecting a 9% city tax (which includes a special 2% STR tax) and a flat $15 per bedroom monthly fee. Most new Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) cannot be used as short-term rentals.
