Colorado Springs City Council imposes fees, tighter rules for short-term rentals despite protest

By RACHEL RILEY rachel.riley@gazette.com
Short-term rentals often are advertised through Airbnb or VRBO (Vacation Rental by Owner) and other online sites. City officials and others estimate that the city has 1,200 to 3,000 such properties.
“We don’t know, we’re just guessing,” Council President Richard Skorman said. “We don’t know how they’re impacting neighborhoods. We don’t know how they’re impacting private property rights and businesses.”
The new ordinances will set a baseline for the burgeoning industry, said city Planning Director Peter Wysocki.
“Let’s get something in place and implemented and then, if necessary, make any changes,” Wysocki said.
