On the evening of December 30, 2020, Governor Polis announced that he was asking Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment (CDPHE) to move counties like Summit County currently at Level Red to Level Orange on the State COVID-dial.
Summit County will move to Level Orange on Monday, January 4, and Summit County’s amended Public Health Order, revised in response to the State’s decision to move Summit County to level Orange, will go into effect at 12:01 a.m. on Monday, January 4, 2021.
Failure to comply with this Order is subject to penalties contained in Section 25-1-516 and 18-1.3-501, Colorado Revised Statutes, including a fine of up to $5,000 and imprisonment in the county jail for up to 18 months.
We thank you for your continued cooperation and patience during these unprecedented times and encourage everyone to stay safe and healthy.
Please continue to review Summit County Public Health’s short-term rental guidelines as well as the Colorado Department of Public Health & Environment (CDPHE) short-term rental guidance.
The Good Neighbor Guidelines are a code of ethics that visitors should follow to avoid negative impacts on the community. The document contains guidance on topics such as parking, wildfire prevention, respecting wildlife, waste disposal, noise and outdoor lighting.
The guidelines must be posted in a prominent location inside your rental home so that visitors will see them. Download the Good Neighbor Guidelines.

Booking sites like VRBO and AirBnB do NOT collect Town of Frisco sales and lodging taxes. To collect Town of Frisco tax from your guests, you will need to visit the support page for the booking site that you use to rent your unit and search for “additional payment request”.
Booking sites such as VRBO and AirBnB are now collecting and remitting taxes on behalf of homeowners directly to the State of Colorado. These tax collections only cover the state, county and special district taxes for a total of 6.375%.
