The Town of Snowmass Village has officially adopted updated Short-Term Rental (STR) regulations designed to streamline the renewal process and enhance operational efficiency.

Effective December 30, 2025, the revised STR regulations will simplify the permitting process, improve internal workflows, and establish a clearer renewal timeline for property managers and the lodging community. Notably, trespassing has been added as a major violation, helping to deter STR guests from accessing private property to reach ski areas and other restricted locations.

Key Updates Include:

• Permit Fee Increase: The STR permit fee will increase to $400, effective January 1, 2026.
• Unified Expiration Date: All STR permits will now expire on April 30 annually. To align existing permits with this date, renewals due between January and March 2026 will be assessed prorated fees: 
  • $33.33 for 1-month renewals
  • $66.66 for 2-month renewals
  • $100 for 3-month renewals
  • Starting in April 2026, all renewals (including prorated amounts) will be valid through April 30, 2027, and the standard renewal fee of $400 will apply. Prorated fees will no longer be available after March 2026.
• Trespassing Violation: Trespassing is now classified as a major violation under the updated STR regulations.
