Short-Term Rentals in Frisco

Short-Term Rental Licenses

Anyone renting their Frisco property, or seeking to rent a property in Frisco, for less than a consecutive thirty-day period, is required to have a Short-Term Rental License and should be aware of the town’s regulations for Short-Term Rentals (STR). These regulations apply regardless of how the properties are marketed – through a management company, online through sites like Vrbo and Airbnb, newspaper, or word of mouth.

Short-Term Rental Ordinance and STR License Cap

Read the full Town of Frisco ordinance regarding short-term rental licenses:

On October 11, 2022, Town Council adopted Ordinance 22-10, limiting the maximum allowable number of STR licenses that may be issued within Town boundaries to 25% of the residential housing stock. The ordinance went into effect on October 17, 2022. There are 3,600 residential housing units in Frisco, therefore a maximum of 900 STR licenses may be issued.

* * Those who submitted a building permit application for new construction or went under contract on a residential unit on or before October 11, 2022 are exempt from the STR cap and may request and STR account (to apply for an STR license) by emailing STRSupport@townoffrisco.com. Please include property address, schedule number, property owner(s) names and proof of ownership.

Short Term Rental License Application Waitlist

On February 23, 2023, Frisco has reached its short-term rental license cap and is now implementing a waitlist for those wishing to apply for a short-term rental license. To be placed on the waitlist:

Complete and submit the form below. A non-refundable $25 waitlist application fee will be applied and is separate from the STR license application fee.

• Applicants must provide proof of ownership (i.e. bill of sale, screenshot of Summit County Assessor’s GIS data, warranty deed, property tax statement) and the property owner’s government issued identification.
• Once the form has been submitted, your entry will be time stamped and placed on the waitlist in the order it was received. You will receive an email from STRSupport@townoffrisco.com confirming your submission as well as a registration number and waitlist placement. An updated waitlist will be posted monthly on our website.
• If you change the property owner’s name or property address after submitting the form, you will lose your placement on the waitlist. You will then need to email STRSupport@townoffrisco.com to cancel your initial waitlist registration and submit a new one.
• When an STR license becomes available, Town staff will contact the next person on the waitlist via email, at which point they will have 14 days to submit a complete STR license application. If a complete application is not received within 14 days, the STR license will be denied, the applicant will lose their placement on the waitlist, and no refund will be issued.
• When a license becomes available, the property owner and property address provided on the form below must match the property owner and property address that are submitted on the STR license application.
