After several months of intensive engagement efforts and conversations with the community, including input on potential code language and amendments, Aspen City Council adopted Ordinance No. 9, Series 2022, Short-Term Rental Regulations, on June 28, 2022, and Ordinances No. 13 and 14, Series 2022, regarding residential building, on June 30, 2022.

Thank you to our community and stakeholders who participated in these projects and shared their ideas and experiences with the project team.

While the community feedback process has officially closed, the engagement results and ordinances are available under “Key Documents” on the Shaping Aspen’s Built Environment Aspen Community Voice webpage for the immediate future.

Please note that City staff are working on migrating important documents and key information from this site to our aspen.gov, and the Aspen Community Voice webpage will close soon.

Please don't hesitate to reach out to project staff with questions.

    Would a cap or limit on the number of STR licenses be possible? Perhaps a limit of 250 in the town (I have no idea how many there currently are!) and then you can apply for one and be on the waiting list if someone else turns theirs in, allows it to expire, or fails to pay.
