Boulder requires online STR platforms to display a valid city license number on every listing and to remove non-compliant listings on request. Compliance partnerships with Airbnb, Vrbo, and similar platforms help enforce BRC 6-3-7.
Boulder partners with major STR platforms to ensure that every public listing for a Boulder address shows a valid city short-term rental license number and active accommodation tax registration. Platforms must respond to delisting requests targeting unlicensed or revoked properties. Hosts who post on multiple platforms must display the same license number across each. Colorado's CRS 29-29-103 partial preemption allows local platform-data sharing as long as it doesn't categorically ban STRs. The framework is similar to Denver's compliance approach.
Platforms ignoring delisting orders and hosts hiding license numbers face per-day fines under BRC 5-2-4 and possible license revocation for repeat violations.
