Aurora City Code Chapter 26.5 makes booking platforms jointly liable for unlicensed short-term rental listings, requiring license-number display, monthly disclosure to the city, and removal of any listing within five business days of a city takedown notice.
Following Denver's 2018 platform-accountability framework, Aurora requires every STR listing on Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and similar platforms to display the operator's Aurora STR license number in the public listing text. Platforms must transmit a monthly listing roster to the Aurora Tax & Licensing Division identifying each Aurora address, license number, and host. Platforms must also collect and remit lodgers tax on behalf of hosts. When the city issues a takedown notice for an unlicensed or revoked listing, the platform must remove it within five business days or face fines of 1,000 dollars per day per listing under the joint-liability clause.
Platforms failing to display license numbers, transmit monthly rosters, remit collected lodgers tax, or honor takedown notices face 1,000 dollar per day per listing penalties plus injunctive enforcement through the Aurora City Attorney.
