Thanks so much, James. I see that you have hosted some seminars, so I just started following you. Hope to catch the next one. 

Cheers!

@James Carlson I just stumbled on this thread, and thank you for sharing your findings!  Great details.  I have a property that has a Morrison address (Quincy & Youngfield approximately), but it is not in the town of Morrison limits. There are several STRs in the area, so I suspect that the county guidelines apply only in this part of Morrison; I am in unincorporated Jefferson County. That said, I am wondering if you have any details on unincorporated Jefferson County. I found the county criteria which reads as:

"Property must be minimum of 1 acre, meet the underlying zone district, have adequate parking, meet the requirements set for by the Wildfire Hazard Overlay District, have valid water and sanitation, have legal access, use the primary dwelling unit, be free of violations, and have no substantial detriment to the intent of the Zoning Resolution."

The only item of concern is the line about a "minimum of 1-acre". The other properties in my neighborhood are not 1 acre. Do you think the county made an exception for these, or perhaps are they operating non-permitted?

Thanks! I am new here, so appreciate your contributions!

Hi All! First post here. Question to folks who are operating a STR in Unincorporated Jefferson, County, CO. We have a property there that we are in process of converting to a STR. I understand that the county is in process of revising policy, but a couple of questions. First, I have read that many people are not obtaining permits. Is this the case? First question is why not? Second is about the the "minimum 1-acre" requirement. Is there any logic behind why they make the parcel size a requirement? There are several STR's on AiR B&B that do not abide this; are they likely operating outside of permits or does the county make exceptions?
