Centennial administers and collects its own sales tax, and STR hosts must ensure compliance with all tax regulations. Hosts are required to collect and remit state (3.9%) and local sales taxes on all short-term rental transactions. The city's annual STR license fee is $150 per property, with a one-time $50 application fee. Some booking platforms may collect and remit certain taxes, but hosts remain ultimately responsible for ensuring all required taxes are properly collected and submitted. Tax compliance is a condition of maintaining an active STR license.
Failure to collect and remit taxes: potential license revocation and tax penalties. Unpaid taxes may accrue interest.
