What happened
The Colorado Supreme Court agreed to hear a lawsuit challenging the legality of short-term rental fees in Breckenridge. The fees, which were established by the Breckenridge Town Council in 2021, are currently $756 per bedroom annually. The lawsuit claims these regulatory fees violate Colorado’s Taxpayers’ Bill of Rights.

Why it matters
The town initially based the fee on a study showing that guest spending supports local workers. If the court reverses previous dismissals, it could open the door to more legal challenges regarding short-term rental regulations across the Western Slope.
