Town of Avon Ordinance 09-12 makes short-term rentals legal within most of the town center area (see map) through an overlay zone district.

For properties where short-term rentals are allowed they must obtain a sales tax license through the Town of Avon and submit all applicable taxes to the Town of Avon. Properties found short term renting without submitting appropriate sales and accommodation taxes will be responsible to pay back taxes, penalties, interest and additional fines.

For more information on obtaining a sales tax license and remitting taxes, please contact Beth Johnston at (970) 748-4019.

Excluded Areas
Areas excluded from Ordinance 09-12 and the overlay zone district include:

• Nottingham Road
• Wildridge
• Brookside Park
• Nottingham Station (includes Canyon Run and Avon Crossing)
• Eaglebend
• Stonebridge
• Other Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) within the town center that already do now allow short-term rentals in their PUD language

In order for short-term rentals to be allowable in the excluded areas, property owners need to apply for a PUD amendment to include short-term rentals as an allowable use.

For more information on the PUD amendment process, please contact Community Development at (970) 748-4030.
