Adams County runs a voluntary business registration program, not a mandatory short-term rental registry. There is no required county STR registration for unincorporated properties. Hosts should still register a sales tax account with the Colorado Department of Revenue, which handles all county sales tax collection.
Adams County opened a voluntary business registration program and states that registration is optional and 'open to all businesses located within Adams County.' No mandatory short-term rental registration ordinance exists for the unincorporated county. Because the Colorado Department of Revenue collects and administers county sales tax, the county does not issue its own sales tax or STR license. Practically, a short-term rental host in the unincorporated county registers for a Colorado sales tax account (state-level) and may optionally enroll in the county's business registration to stay informed. Municipalities within Adams County may operate their own mandatory STR registries.
No mandatory county STR registration means no county registration penalty in the unincorporated area. State-level noncompliance (operating without a Colorado sales tax license) is enforced by the Colorado Department of Revenue.
