Larimer County sets no per-night annual cap on how many nights a licensed STR may rent. Instead, it caps the total number of licenses in the Estes Valley residential zone districts at 208 registrations, which currently means a waitlist for new operators there.
Unlike some jurisdictions that limit rental nights per year, Larimer County regulates through licensing and location rather than a night count. There is no annual night cap on an approved unhosted STR. The key volume control is geographic: operating licenses for short-term rentals in the Estes Valley Residential Zone Districts are held at a maximum total ('cap') of 208 registrations at any time, so new Estes Valley applicants join a waitlist until a slot opens. Elsewhere in the unincorporated county, licensing is limited to one STR per property rather than by a registration ceiling.
Operating in Estes Valley without an available registration slot is unlicensed operation, subject to Cease and Desist and fines up to $1,000 per day.
