New Resource: Summit County’s Interactive STR Map
Short-term rental regulations in Summit County are among the most layered in Colorado — and the rules are different depending on whether you’re looking at a condo in Keystone, a chalet in Breckenridge, or a cabin outside Frisco. That’s why we built the Summit County STR Map: one interactive resource that shows exactly where licenses are available, capped, or waitlisted — before you make an offer.
What the map shows at a glance
Color-coded zones across all of Summit County — resort vs. neighborhood overlays, town boundaries, and basin breakdowns — so you can immediately see a property’s STR status before diving into due diligence.
SUMMIT COUNTY STR ZONES:
**Resort overlay zone
**Keystone, Copper Mountain & Tiger Run — no caps, licenses always available
**Neighborhood overlay zone
**Caps in all 4 basins — Upper Blue, Lower Blue, Tenmile & Snake River
**Towns vary widely
**Breckenridge has 4 zones; Frisco caps at 900 licenses; Blue River just put a freeze on issuing and renewing licenses
STR licenses in the neighborhood overlay zone are capped and non-transferable — they don’t pass to a new buyer at closing. That means the map isn’t just a research tool; it’s a crucial step in your investment process. Properties in the resort overlay zone continue to offer unrestricted licensing, making areas like Copper Mountain among the most dependable STR investments in the county from a regulatory standpoint.
The regulations are complex and continue to evolve. That’s exactly why the Amy Nakos Group built this resource — and why we track changes year-round so our clients don’t have to.
