Aurora City Code Chapter 26.5 authorizes mandatory short-term rental license revocation after three substantiated code violations within twelve months, with a two-year reapplication bar that mirrors enforcement language used in Denver and Boulder.
Aurora tracks substantiated complaints (noise, occupancy, parking, trash, life-safety, lodgers-tax) tied to each licensed STR. After three substantiated violations within a rolling twelve-month window, the licensing officer must issue a notice of revocation. Operators may appeal to the Aurora License Hearing Officer within fifteen days; the hearing follows administrative-procedure rules under Aurora Code Ch. 26. Once revoked, the operator and property are barred from new STR licensing for 24 months. Single-violation fines start at 250 dollars and escalate per offense. Platforms must remove the listing within five business days of receiving a city revocation notice.
Continuing to operate after revocation, transferring the license to a relative to evade the bar, or failing to remove the platform listing triggers escalating fines up to 2,650 dollars per day plus criminal misdemeanor charges.
