Greeley, CO Short-Term Rentals: Occupancy Limits (2026)

Greeley does not currently operate a comprehensive short-term rental licensing program with explicit nightly guest counts. Hosts that rent for fewer than 30 days operate under the city's general zoning and rental occupancy framework rather than a dedicated STR chapter. Historically Greeley used a U+1 standard in low and medium density residential districts, allowing a family plus one unrelated adult, but Colorado HB24-1007 (effective July 1, 2024) prohibits Colorado municipalities from limiting residential occupancy based on familial relationships. Cities may still cap occupancy on demonstrated health and safety grounds tied to building code, fire code, or wastewater capacity. As a practical matter, Greeley STR occupancy is governed by the building code's bedroom and life-safety standards, the home's physical capacity, off-street parking requirements that scale with bedroom count, and any applicable HOA covenants. Operators should confirm zoning eligibility and current rules with Community Development at 970-350-9780 before hosting, because the city has signaled it may adopt a formal STR ordinance in the future.
