Colorado taxes furnished rooms and accommodations rented for less than 30 consecutive days. Under CRS 39-26-104, stays of 30+ days are exempt. Adams County sales tax is collected by the state; a county lodging tax is possible only if voters approve one under CRS 30-11-107.5.
Colorado statute makes furnished rooms and accommodations rented for under 30 days a taxable transaction; rentals of 30 consecutive days or more are exempt. Adams County's sales tax is state-administered, so a Colorado Department of Revenue sales tax license covers the county component and no separate county license is issued. Separately, Colorado counties may levy a lodging (marketing) tax on stays under 30 days, but only after the board refers it to voters and a majority approve; the statutory cap in CRS 30-11-107.5 is two percent (recent legislation has adjusted county lodging-tax authority). Hosts should verify current combined state, county, and any special-district rates with the Department of Revenue before pricing.
Failure to collect and remit the applicable state-collected sales tax on stays under 30 days exposes hosts to Colorado Department of Revenue assessments, penalties, and interest.
