In February 2023, the Town of Frisco reached its short-term rental license cap and began 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 and provide a non-refundable $25 waitlist application fee will be applied and is separate from the STR license application fee.

STR Waitlist Registration Form
  • 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 place on the waitlist. You will then need to email STRSupport@townoffrisco.com to cancel your initial waitlist registration and submit a new one.
  • When a 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 completed STR license application. If a completed application is not received within 14 days, the STR license will be denied, the applicant will lose their place 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.

Purchases and Building Permit Applications Prior to October 11, 2022

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 license cap and may request an STR Account Number and application by emailing STRSupport@townoffrisco.com. Please include the following information in your email:

For Active STR Licenses

The following information will help active short-term rental license holders update account information, manage users on the account, understand the license renewal cycle, and understand the Town’s Good Neighbor policies.

This is the accordion content block, where you can enter the content for a single panel. Select a heading level and enter your panel heading label in the ACF options data panel.

It is the duty of each Short-Term Rental property licensee to ensure all information provided is kept up to date at all times. It is unlawful for a licensee to fail to provide updated information to the Town within ten days after the date the information changed. Here are instructions on how to keep your STR license updated:

  • Contact Information Change – such as owner, rental agent, and emergency contact information can be updated in the MUNIRevs/GovOS Business Center. Use the Account Information Update form to make any necessary changes to your account. Once the requested change is made you will be able to download and print a new STR License Certificate in the Business Center.
  • Property Sold – STR licenses are not transferable. To close your account/STR license, please make sure to first file and pay your tax returns through the last month of rental activity and take down all of your listings. You can then email The Town of Frisco STR Support team with your account number, and closure date, and provide the reason for closure (i.e. sale of property or changing to a long-term rental).

Panel content can be any block, including paragraphs, headings, columns, and even other accordions!

The top-level accordion block has settings to control the button icon, and to layout the accordion as tabs on desktop, mobile, or both.

You can manage your user accounts in the MUNIRevs/GovOS Business Center by adding or removing the user email. If you are adding a user they will need your account number and activation code to complete the registration. If you have misplaced your account number and/or activation code please contact STRSupport@townoffrisco.com and include the STR physical property address and schedule number in the email request.

  • Per the STR Ordinance, all STR Licenses expire on April 30 of each year, with the STR license renewal period open from February 21 – March 31.
  • The renewal period is not based upon when an initial application is submitted or approved, this means that a new license may be active for less than a year before it needs to be renewed. The $250 application fee is not prorated for new licenses that have been active for less than a full year.
  • If a completed renewal application is not submitted by March 31, 2023, your license will be ineligible for renewal, and you must reapply if you wish to short-term rent your property.

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 neighbors, trash and recycling.

The guidelines must be posted in a prominent location inside your rental home so that visitors will see them. Download the Good Neighbor Guidelines.
