Jeffco does not require STRs to be a primary residence. It licenses two types: Primary Residence STRs and Investment Property STRs. An owner may hold an interest in only one investment (non-primary-residence) STR at any time.
Section 46 recognizes both a Primary Residence STR (one dwelling unit at the owner's primary residence) and an Investment Property STR. Primary Residence STRs are exempt from the 750-foot separation rule and the 1% Fire Protection District cap. Investment owners are capped: an owner may have an ownership interest in a non-primary-residence STR at no more than one property at any time. Primary-residence applicants must prove residency with two documents (vehicle registration, voter registration, tax returns, Colorado ID, etc.). If an ADU is the STR, the main single-family dwelling must be the owner's primary residence.
Holding interests in multiple investment STRs, or misrepresenting primary residence, breaches the affidavit and can void the license and trigger fines and revocation.
