Denver, CO Hotels & Lodging: Transient Occupancy Tax (2026)

Denver's lodger's tax runs 10.75 percent of the purchase price charged for lodging: rooms in hotels, motels, apartment hotels, guest houses, resorts, mobile home parks, and similar short-term accommodations, under Article IV of Chapter 53 of the Revised Municipal Code. Vendors must state the tax as a separate charge and remit it monthly to the manager of finance. Guests who occupy the same room continuously for 30 or more consecutive days are exempt, as are direct billings to federal or Colorado government entities and to charitable organizations paying from their own funds. A 1.75 percentage-point slice of the tax funds debt service on the National Western Center Campus and Colorado Convention Center.
