When Brighton became a town in 2020, the highest priority was to maintain a strong community. Regulation of short-term rentals (STRs) was one of the first issues considered. Here’s a link to the current ordinance that was approved by the Town Council in 2021: Brighton’s Short Term Rental Ordinance . As we look forward, the Short-Term Rental Committee has been considering ideas that other communities use to maintain a mix of full-time and seasonal family cabins. Here’s a link that shows how many STRs are in Brighton, Silver Fork, and Pinetree: Current Short Term Rental Data. Solitude is already zoned to permit all STRs. Most other areas are not permitted to have STRs due to lack of sewer access.
The STR Committee has designed a survey to solicit input from Town members. Please take a minute to respond! There are five proposals in this survey that suggest STR caps. Each proposal has pros and cons. Your thoughts, opinions and especially your comments, are greatly appreciated. Survey closes on October 28.
