On January 13, 2026, the Board of Trustees of the Town of Buena Vista adopted Emergency Ordinance No. 01 imposing a temporary moratorium on the acceptance, processing, and approval of applications for short-term rental licenses. STR operators advertising exclusively on Airbnb, VRBO, or Evolve do not need a sales tax license, but listings on other platforms require a Colorado state sales tax license. Site plans and floor plans are required and may be digitally created or hand-drawn.
Licensing and Permits
Buena Vista 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. The city caps STR permits at 119.
