**2024 Renewals**

Renewal Applications are due by March 31, 2024

The renewal period occurs annually from Feb 20- April 30 and the fee is $250. Per the STR Ordinance, all STR Licenses expire on April 30th, 2022. Expiration is not based upon when you applied or when your license was approved. With GovOS/MuniRevs your STR license will automatically expire and become inactive if you do not renew by the April 30th, 2024 deadline. If this happens you will need to join the waitlist for a new STR license in order to be in compliance with Frisco STR regulations. Penalties for renting without an STR license will be issued.

To renew, please go to https://frisco.munirevs.com/

It is the duty of each short-term rental property licensee to ensure all information provided is kept up to date at all times, and it shall be unlawful for a licensee to fail to provide updated information to the Town within ten (10) days after the date upon which the information provided is no longer accurate.

If you have any questions regarding STRs, we encourage you to contact us at STRSupport@townoffrisco.com

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 & 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 an STR account (to apply for an STR license) by emailing STRSupport@townoffrisco.com. Please include the property address, schedule number, property owner(s) names, and proof of ownership.

Short-Term Rental License Application Waitlist

On February 23, 2023, Frisco 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, a screenshot of Summit County Assessor’s GIS data, warranty deed, property tax statement) and the property owner’s government-issued identification. Any STR waitlist application received without proof of current owners, will be denied.
  • 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. An updated waitlist will be posted monthly and can be found by clicking “STR License Waitlist” below.
  • 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 10 days to submit a complete STR license application. If a complete application is not received within 10 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 is submitted on the STR license application.
  • The estimated amount of time a property will spend on the waitlist is unknown. Licenses turnovers are numbering 0-2 a month at this time and are not predictable.

Short-Term Rental Taxes & Regulations

Short-term rental license holders within the Town of Frisco are required to remit all applicable taxes. The total tax to be collected and remitted for each booking is 15.725%.

Regulations and requirements for short-term rentals outline expectations and provide guidance to STR license holders on how to offer a safe and pleasant experience for their guests, as well as for their neighbors.

Short-Term Rental Complaint Hotline

The Town of Frisco has a 24-hour Short-Term Rental complaint hotline with GovOS/Munirevs to report non-emergency issues such as parking, noise, trash, or occupancy-limit violations, or to report a suspected unregistered short-term rental property. Please call 970-432-8291.
