Short-Term Rentals in Cordillera, Colorado

Cordillera is a 30-day-minimum community. Buyers who need nightly rental income should look elsewhere; buyers who want privacy will find it here.

Cordillera Property Owners Association (unincorporated Eagle County) · Updated September 23, 2026

The short answer

Are short-term rentals allowed in Cordillera?

No. The Cordillera Property Owners Association states: "Cordillera permits rentals of 30 days or more. Short term rentals, those of less than 30 days, are prohibited in all areas of Cordillera." Owners who rent for 30 days or more must register and hold a CPOA rental license, and the eight enclaves can impose additional requirements.

Before you count on rental income

There are two levels of STR rules to check.

Short-term rentals allowed by the municipality does not necessarily mean short-term rentals are allowed at the property. Both levels have to say yes.

1

Government requirements

Set by the town, the county, or in Beaver Creek the Resort Company. They decide whether a license exists, what it costs, and which taxes apply.

  • Town / city / county jurisdiction
  • Zoning and overlay districts
  • Licensing, registration and caps
  • Sales, lodging and STR taxes
  • Safety, occupancy and parking standards
  • Local representative and advertising rules
2

Property-specific restrictions

Written into the recorded documents that run with the property. A town license never overrides them, and they are where most "no" answers in the Vail Valley come from.

  • CPOA registration and the 30-day minimum
  • Enclave governing documents (may be stricter, never looser)
  • Cordillera Valley Club: separate association — verify its rules
  • Any recorded deed restriction on the lot

In Cordillera, level 2 usually looks like this

Cordillera's rule already is the private-restriction level, and it applies to the Divide, the Ranch, the Summit and the Valley Club's neighbours within CPOA. The eight enclaves — Alcazar, Cimarron, Club Cottages, Greyhawk, Bentgrass, Bearcat, Kensington and Les Pyrenees — have their own governing documents and may add rental requirements; the CPOA policy states that no enclave may adopt a rental policy less restrictive than the Association's. Cordillera Valley Club is a separate association with its own rules.

Level 1

Cordillera Property Owners Association (unincorporated Eagle County) requirements

Government level
Unincorporated Eagle County has no county STR license or registration. The Board of County Commissioners considered a county-wide ordinance and on May 13, 2025 decided not to adopt one; the County states that regulation is left to metro districts and HOAs. The 30-day rule in Cordillera is a private covenant rule, not a county regulation.
Taxes
Because stays under 30 days are prohibited, short-term lodging taxes do not arise for compliant rentals. Leases of 30 days or more are not subject to Colorado sales tax on accommodations or the Eagle County lodging tax.
CPOA rental policy
Rental Rules and Registration Policy passed July 11, 2022. Owners renting for 30 days or more register and license through the CPOA portal ($600 per year), submit a tenant information form for each rental, and place the printed Rental Standards for Tenants in the home. The policy sets occupancy at two persons per bedroom plus two, a local manager within one hour available 24/7, the license number in advertising, quiet hours 10 p.m.–8 a.m., and a maximum of two dogs.
Amenities for tenants
As of April 1, 2026, tenants no longer have included access to community amenities; access is optional at $300 per month.
Sale of the property
The rental license is valid for 12 months and expires on transfer of title; a buyer who intends to lease registers anew.

Short-Term Rental Properties Currently Available in Cordillera

Listings whose MLS record states that short-term rentals are permitted and that carry no affordable or resident-occupied deed restriction. Each card shows the STR and deed-restriction status from the MLS. "Permitted" in the MLS is the starting point — the HOA documents and licensing still have to be verified for the specific unit.

Property-specific analysis

Want to know what a specific property can actually earn?

We prepare a specialized rental projection for a property you are considering or one you already own. It goes beyond "this property rents for $X": it separates verified property data from assumptions, and it shows the range, not a single number.

  • Comparable rentals and seasonal demand — winter, summer and shoulder-season occupancy
  • Estimated booked nights, average nightly rate and gross revenue
  • Conservative, expected and strong-performance scenarios
  • Management, HOA, taxes, utilities, insurance, maintenance, cleaning, snow removal and landscaping
  • Estimated net operating income, and a long-term vs short-term rental comparison
  • The eligibility questions that still have to be verified for that address

Common questions

Cordillera short-term rentals, answered

Are short-term rentals allowed in Cordillera?
No. Rentals of fewer than 30 days are prohibited in all areas of Cordillera under the CPOA rental policy. Rentals of 30 days or more are allowed with CPOA registration and a $600 annual license.
Can I rent my Cordillera home for the ski season?
Yes — a seasonal lease of 30 days or more is exactly what the policy allows. Register with the CPOA, submit the tenant form before each rental, and note that since April 2026 tenants must purchase amenity access separately.
Is Cordillera a good investment property community?
Not for nightly-rental income — that is prohibited. Cordillera suits buyers who value privacy, golf, space and long-term appreciation, or who want a 30-day-plus seasonal rental. Our team can compare a Cordillera purchase with an STR-eligible alternative in Vail, Beaver Creek or Avon on the numbers.
