Littleton STR operators must collect and remit multiple layers of tax on all rental transactions. The city's lodgers' tax is 5% of the listing price (including cleaning fees and guest fees) for reservations of 30 nights or shorter. The city sales tax of 3% also applies. The combined local tax burden is 8%, in addition to Colorado's 2.9% state sales tax on accommodations. STR hosts must register with the City of Littleton for sales tax purposes and file returns. Platforms like Airbnb may collect some taxes automatically, but hosts remain responsible for ensuring all applicable taxes are remitted.
Failure to collect or remit taxes: penalties and interest on unpaid amounts. Operating without tax registration: enforcement action.
