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

Section 3-23-10, the license requirements and restrictions section of Littleton's short-term rental chapter, sets two separate occupancy caps that apply at the same time. Subsection (a)(4) limits a short-term rental to no more than two adults per bedroom, and subsection (a)(5) caps the total occupancy of the premises at eight persons regardless of how many bedrooms the unit has. The same section layers on related restrictions that affect how many people can gather at a licensed property: subsection (a)(7) bars more than two simultaneous rental contracts on one unit at a time, and subsection (a)(8) prohibits using the premises for anything other than lodging during a rental period, ruling out a home-based business or a temporary event on top of the overnight guests.

Parking is tied to the same occupancy framework: subsection (a)(9) requires at least two off-street parking spaces, and any advertisement or listing must state the number of spaces available and where they are located, whether in a driveway or garage. Because the occupancy limits are license conditions rather than a one-time application requirement, they apply for as long as the license remains valid, and the Good Neighbor Handout posted at the property under subsection (a)(18) must also flag parking restrictions and noise limits tied to the neighborhood.
