Short Term Rentals
The City of Woodland Park defines a short term rental of any hotel room, motel room, apartment, lodging or inn room, motor hotel, guest house, mobile home, trailer court, bed and breakfast, or any other place that furnishes sleeping accommodations under any concession, permit, right of access, license to use or other agreement or otherwise within the city, that is rented for less than thirty (30) days at a time.
Anyone renting a short term rental in the City of Woodland Park must apply for a Business License of $35.00 (per year) and submit both Sales and Lodging Tax (the 20th of every month). Please check with your locations HOA if they allow STR's.
Lodging Tax percentage to the City of Woodland Park:
Sales Tax | 4.09% |
Lodging Tax | 5.70% |
Total Tax | 9.79% |
Airbnb or VRBO may claim they will pay these taxes. While they may pay the State, they do NOT pay the City. The City does not have a contract with Airbnb or VRBO to pay the City. It is your responsibility to pay the City Tax (9.79%) to the City. If you have any questions or are unsure of what taxes you are responsible for, please call 719-687-5214.
