Littleton, CO Short-Term Rentals: Short-Term Rental Parking Rules (2026)

The parking rule is one of nineteen license conditions in Littleton City Code § 3-23-10(a), the section that governs every short-term rental license the city issues. Subsection (a)(9) requires a minimum of two off-street parking spaces at the rental property, and it goes further than a bare number: the listing itself has to tell renters where those spaces are, driveway or garage, so guests are not left hunting for legal parking on a residential street. The parking condition sits alongside the rest of the license package: the unit must be the owner's primary residence under (a)(2), occupancy is capped at two adults per bedroom and eight people total under (a)(4) and (a)(5), and no more than two simultaneous rental contracts are allowed under (a)(7).

A property owner must also carry fire, hazard and liability insurance at limits set by the Finance Director, and every listing must display the license number. The Finance Director and the Director of Community Development jointly administer and enforce Chapter 23 under § 3-23-12, and every short-term rental undergoes an initial premises inspection before a certificate of inspection issues under (a)(10). Because Littleton straddles Arapahoe, Jefferson and Douglas Counties, a property advertised with a Littleton address is only covered by this parking rule if it is actually inside the city limits; a short-term rental in an unincorporated county pocket, including areas near Highlands Ranch, answers to county rules instead.
