Unincorporated Adams County places no cap on the number of nights a home may be rented short-term each year, because it has no STR ordinance. Any stay under 30 consecutive days is taxable, but the county sets no annual rental-night limit. Some cities do cap nights.
Jurisdictions that limit non-primary short-term rentals often cap them at a set number of nights per year. Unincorporated Adams County imposes no such annual night cap because it has not adopted a short-term rental ordinance. A property in the unincorporated area may be rented for stays of under 30 consecutive days year-round, subject to state sales tax collection, zoning use, and building/health limits. The only relevant threshold is the state tax line: stays of under 30 consecutive days are taxable, while stays of 30 or more consecutive days are exempt from state sales tax under CRS 39-26-104. Incorporated cities within Adams County may cap annual rental nights, so verify with the municipality.
No county night-cap penalty exists in the unincorporated area. The practical consequence of longer stays is only tax treatment: 30+ consecutive-day rentals become exempt from state sales tax.
