Aurora permits short-term rentals only as a home occupation, meaning the property must be the operator primary residence (non-resident owners may not operate STRs). A city business license costs 45 dollars and is valid for two years. The lodger tax is 8 percent and must be collected and remitted monthly or quarterly. Whole-home rental is capped at 180 days per year and only one listing or booking is allowed at a time.
Licensing and Permits
Aurora requires hosts to obtain an STR license or permit before listing their property on platforms like Airbnb or VRBO. An inspection is required as part of the permitting process.
