Found some further info in the Residential Improvement Guidelines. Looks like (b) is promising!
4.2. Residential Use. Each Residential Site in the Annexed Property shall be improved with a
Dwelling Unit and used solely for
(a) one Common Household Group for residential living purposes
and such purposes as are customarily incident thereto, and shall not be used at any time for
business, commercial or professional activities; provided, however, that
(b) an Owner of a Adopted June 15, 2021, revised December 7, 2021 11
Residential Site in the Annexed Property may use his Dwelling Unit for professional or other home
occupations so long as there is no external evidence thereof and no unreasonable inconvenience
to the neighbors is created, and
(c) the Owner of such Site may rent or lease a Dwelling Unit
constructed on the Site for residential living purposes for a term of at least thirty (30) days, pursuant
to a written lease or rental agreement. The terms of any such lease or rental agreement shall be
subject in all respects to the provisions of this Supplemental Declaration, the Community
Declaration, the Articles of Incorporation and the Bylaws of the Community Association, and shall
provide that failure by the lessee of such Dwelling Unit to comply with the terms of any such
documents shall constitute a default under the lease or rental agreement.
Considerations will be based upon, but not limited to the following criteria: trash, sound, odor,
signage, traffic, vehicles, parking, deliveries, employees, and impact to neighboring properties.
Homeowners should also contact Douglas County for zoning restrictions regarding home-based
businesses

Quote from @Ryan Williams:
@Jared Vaughn Hey Jared, the city itself doesn't have any short term rental regulations to my knowledge (at least that is what the city planner told me on the phone), it's just totally dependent on the HOA regulations. Many homes in Highlands Ranch have 2 HOA's, the general one that covers the entire city and then many have an additional one for their specific neighborhood. It has to be allowed under both HOA's. Sometimes it will have language that any lease on the property has to be at least "x" amount of time. If you can't find language in the HOA's that don't allow it, bake your neighbors some cookies, and go for it!
@Ryan Williams thank you for this! Luckily I have only 1 HOA to deal with and already on great terms with the neighbors.
Hey @Robert Aydelott did you find out anything more on this? I just purchased a home in Highlands Ranch a year ago and want to airbnb the walkout basement but cant find any info in the Highlands Ranch Rules and Regulations.

Hi everyone, I purchased a home in Highlands Ranch a year ago that I currently live in. I am looking to finish off the 900 sq/ft walkout basement into short/mid-term rental. Wondering if anyone has had any experience doing this in Highlands Ranch. So far the only limitation I have herd of is a 30 day minimum but can not find this in the HOA rules and regulations. I have seen and followed walkout basements being rented short term here now for over a year and seem to have no issues. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
