Short-term rentals are allowed for primary residences within the city limits with a STR license. The application for a STR license must be the property owner who resides at the site requesting the short-term rental.
Non-primary residences who operated short-term rentals prior to the ordinance change in 2021 are able to renew their non-owner-occupied license.
If you own a property with a Littleton address, but outside of the city limits, you will need to verify the local ordinance to your address. Review the City Regulations below to confirm your property location.

The “rent by the room” investment strategy involves renting out individual rooms within a single property, such as a house or apartment, rather than leasing the entire unit to a single tenant. This approach has gained traction as it allows investors to maximize rental income by catering to multiple tenants simultaneously. Each tenant pays for their designated room and shares common areas like kitchens and living rooms. This is a popular strategy among house hackers who choose to rent out the rooms in the house they are living in.
Note: As of July 1, 2024 Governor Polis prohibited residential occupancy limits in Colorado through HB24-1007. This act eliminated previously held occupancy limits by counties and cities.

Long-term rentals are a smart strategy for a more hands-off approach and a buy and hold mindset. In an appreciating market, like Littleton, if the property’s rent can cover the mortgage, plus an additional 10% for vacancies and repairs, then you’re property is increasing in value the longer you hold it. Check out the latest rent estimates on Rent-O-Meter or Zillow to see what your property might get for rents.
